Multigrain Pancakes in a Jar

It’s another week of #HandCraftedEdibles!!

This week is all about the jarred mixes!

I’m going to be honest here.  This one was a first for me and I really puzzled over what to make.  At first I could only think of oatmeal cookies in a jar and it seems like that’s been done over and over again.  Plus my kids freak out about the raisins in oatmeal cookies and refuse to eat them!

So I started thinking and trying to come up with something that I love to make that could easily be packaged in a jar.

Finally I had it!  My favorite go-to pancakes!

I used to experiment with pancake recipes all the time.  But once I came upon this one two years ago, I haven’t looked back.  The kids go nuts over these pancakes, so they’re the perfect mix to gift to others!

For the buttermilk in these pancakes, I used cultured buttermilk powder.  It can be tricky to find sometimes, so check the baking aisle by the dried milk – it should be there!

The recipe below makes 2 batches (2 jars) of pancake mix.  You can easily double the recipe (or more!) for additional gifting!
