Ingredient Notes and Substitutions
- Bisquick baking mix – If you don’t have one on hand, check out our recipe for homemade Bisquick mix.
- Sugar – Adds sweetness to the pancakes. You can use honey or maple syrup as a substitute.
- Baking powder – This is what gives them rise and fluffiness.
- Milk – Adds moisture and richness to the recipe. You can use any milk you prefer, like whole, skim, almond, or soy milk.
- Eggs – Acts as a binding agent and add structure to our pancakes. You can also use mashed bananas or applesauce as a substitute.
See our recipe for chocolate chip eggless cookies to see how we use applesauce as a substitute for eggs! - Maple extract – You can skip the maple extract or substitute it with vanilla or any other flavor. But the maple does add a sweet, earthy flavor to the pancakes.
How to Make the Best Bisquick Pancake Recipe
Using a packaged baking mix reduces the number of ingredients you need to keep stocked and reduces prep time.
This ultimate pancake recipe only takes 15 minutes to whip up, from start to finish. So you can feed even the hungriest crowd on a busy morning in a flash!
Gather all of your ingredients and have them ready. Then follow these 3 simple steps for my Bisquick ultimate pancake recipe:
- First, lightly grease and preheat a griddle or get a skillet hot on the stovetop over medium-low heat.
- Then, combine the ingredients in a medium bowl with a whisk or fork. It’s ok if there are some small lumps… For super fluffy pancakes, you want to be sure not to overmix the batter. Once the batter bubbles a bit, it is ready to use.
🎯 TFN Pro Tip
Did you know that letting the batter bubble before adding it to the hot griddle helps make fluffier pancakes?
- Now pour the batter onto the hot griddle or skillet using a measuring scoop (I recommend a 1/4 cup size). Let the pancakes cook for 1-2 minutes without moving until the edges are dry and bubbles form on the tops.
Use a spatula to check the bottom for doneness, and flip when golden. Cook for another minute or two until light brown. You can flip the pancake back and forth until it is just right.
Serve our ultimate Bisquick pancakes warm with butter, maple syrup, or this fruit syrup recipe.

Serving Suggestions
Bisquick pancakes are a versatile treat perfect for both weeknights and celebrations. To elevate the flavor, add a splash of vanilla extract to the pancake batter and serve with fresh blueberries for a burst of natural sweetness. Pair them with a drizzle of warm peanut butter or your favorite recipes for syrups and toppings. A glass of whole milk complements the meal beautifully, while savory sides like crispy bacon or scrambled eggs balance the sweetness. Whether it’s a cozy breakfast or a special brunch, these pairings make every bite memorable.
Bisquick Pancakes Recipe FAQs
Yes, and yes. Our Bisquick pancake recipe makes 8 pancakes, but you can halve the ingredients for 4 pancakes – which is just about perfect for two people.
Double the ingredients to make 16 Bisquick pancakes. This is a great idea to enjoy some now and freeze half for grabbing as quick weekday breakfasts.
Stack cooled leftover pancakes between sheets of parchment paper. Wrap the stack in aluminum foil or an airtight container and then pop it in the freezer. It’s as simple as that!
To reheat, remove the foil and cover the flapjacks with a damp paper towel. Microwave them on 50% medium heat in 30-second intervals.
Another option is to reheat them in an oven at 400ºF for 5-7 minutes. Or, for a crisper exterior, warm them in your toaster.
One of the many reasons I prefer to make my pancakes using Bisquick is that the mix itself is dairy-free. Several members of my family are lactose-intolerant, so feel free to use lactose-free milk and your favorite plant-based butter or cooking oil to make your dairy-free Bisquick pancakes!
Classic pancake toppings are room-temperature butter and slightly warmed syrup. But you can also serve them with diced fresh fruit, like bananas and strawberries. Or top them with whipped cream and chocolate chips for a sweet breakfast treat.
