Best pancake & waffle mixes according to redditors

Pamela's pancake mix. Light fluffy pancakes every time. Also, redditors, don't give me crap about how easy it is to make pancake mix.

Raw Meal chocolate replacement meal. This is my breakfast everyday. I drink it with almond milk. Doesn't taste good with regular water. Whole Foods sells this for $50-60ish.

Tamanishiki Super Premium Short Grain Rice. Only applicable if you have a rice cooker. Best rice I've ever cooked. Maybe cheaper if you have an asian market near you. I do not, so I bought this. I bought this bag for $22 last time.

They've SOLD dry pancake mix IN a plastic bottle for lazy campers for, like, 50 years. This isn't worthy of a LPT.

Here's my pancake recipe if anybody's interested:

• This batter
  
  
• They tell you to use water but fuck that, use milk obviously
  
  
• Dice an apple real small and boil them for 10 min
  
  
• Dice a banana and throw it in the batter with the boiled apples
  
  
• Add a little cinnamon and maple syrup
  
  
• Stir, and don't make it too thick, they're pretty dense
  
  
• Cook in copious amounts of butter. If you cook your pancakes in oil, get your dirty hands off my recipe (unless you avoid animal products, that's cool man)

I used this: https://www.amazon.com/Good-Dees-Pancake-Gluten-Almond/dp/B0764HZQ9L/ref=pd_ybh_a_59?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=BQSKQWQMJY4SQA9KWDT3

They came out pretty good. Sadly I don't have any low carb syrup but the savoriness from the bacon and sausage patties made it taste great!

I will not give you crap about pancake mix, because I totally have a box of pancake mix in my pantry right now. We like Kodiak Cakes...they taste a little whole wheat-y to me but the SO loves them!

I know what you are dealing with, and I'm so sorry that you're going through it.

What I've found helpful is to try making different levels of effortlessness for various daily tasks. Basically, it's just having contingency plans that I can implement as needed. Making them pleasant is also important.

For example, here are my breakfast contingencies:

• DEFCON 5: Use whiskware to make protein pancakes. (1 cup of water+1 cup of pancake mix+1 optional egg, shake it up, squeeze onto skillet, and eat; add chocolate chips, blueberries, or whatever you want if you're in the mood.) Or make scrambled eggs and toast.
  
• DEFCON 4: Oatmeal of choice (tip: no need to measure water precisely, just pour some boiling water directly from a kettle to make it as thick or thin as you like) or some healthyish cereal with oat milk (because oat milk keeps longer than dairy milk, which means fewer surprises, and tastes the most like dairy milk out of all the options)
  
• DEFCON 3: Instant oatmeal cup, Kodiak to-go cups, etc. These cups are great to have on hand, and lots of brands make lots of kinds of them. Go wild.
  
• DEFCON 2: Tsogo in a blender bottle, or whatever meal replacement powder you prefer (BlendRunner can help you compare options)
  
• DEFCON 1: Soylent meal-in-a-bottle, Ensure Complete, Met-Rx meal replacement bars, or any equivalent zero preparation product that's specifically meant to be a complete meal replacement, because you need the nutrients and calories when things are this tough. (Beware the really small, cheap meal bars. They're too small to be satisfying, so you end up eating a bunch and it doesn't save money.)
  
  Another thing that really helped me a lot was learning to drink more water. For almost everybody, this sounds as simple as just grabbing a water bottle and making an effort to change habits. It probably doesn't even occur to them that this might need to be streamlined for people like us.
  
  For me, here's what worked:
  
  
• The right water bottle is big enough that you won't need to get up to refill it often, insulated well-enough that the small pleasure of ice can be added before you go to sleep and still be there in the morning, and – perhaps most importantly, I found – has a lid that doesn't even require you to open it when you want a sip (because people like us really do need to save every spoon possible)
  
• The right ice tray doesn't require you to ever wrestle with it. You don't need to get rid of your other ice trays, but silicone ones will never cling too hard to the ice. This makes you more likely to get the ice, and the ice (if you're like me) will make the water more pleasant, and making it more pleasant makes it require less mental effort to get yourself to reach over to take a sip.
  
• The right reminder won't require you to press a button to deactivate an alarm, won't ever make you scramble to turn it off so you don't wake up your roommate, and can be ignored relatively easily (just turn it to face away) so that you're still in control.
  
  These are all things that require spending some money upfront, but are cheap to maintain.
  
  Basically, the strategy is to accept that you're already doing what you can to help yourself, so making the tasks easier will let you do more and live better with your limited energy. Having contingencies that accept how bad some days can be will help to keep one very bad day from turning into a very bad week because you won't need to stretch yourself to get something done when you can least "afford" to do so.
  
  Don't be embarrassed or ashamed by the lengths you need to go to in order to live decently. Others won't get it, but we both know that you're already used to people not really understanding.
  
  If you want to talk more and exchange ideas about more ways to "save spoons," then just let me know. Good luck!

The mix still has sugar and a bunch of BS that is anti health. If you must pancake, this is the better option : available cheap at target

What helped me the most was time. Seriously, it just took a while to get the hang of a new lifestyle. Over time I felt better and better and learned more easy recipes and cooking techniques and it all became easier.

One thing I missed the most was good baked sweets, but then a friend who's son is allergic to wheat turned me onto this book http://www.cakemixdoctor.com/books/the-cake-mix-doctor-bakes-gluten-free/ and told me, "It'll change your life. I use it for all the kid parties and no one even realizes they're eating gluten free."

Recipes, I haven't yet done the whole make your own flour thing. SO much extra work. I've found that the Pamela's baking mix makes a pretty good sub in. http://www.amazon.com/Pamelas-Ultimate-Baking-Pancake-4-Pound/dp/B000NMJWZO I just bought a 25lb bag on amazon because it was less expensive in the long run. Also, the gf pasta with a combo of quinoa, corn, &/or brown rice is better than the just brown rice alone pasta.

And for easy, meat, veggies, and potatoes or rice with some easy sauces (BBQ & curries). Read all the labels, and really, it does get easier/better with time. Good luck.

Just a bit of practice. I've had some batches that were a little too much or little but the cup that came with the waffle iron really does have a near perfect amount when a hearty scoop is taken. Also the mix I'm currently using is responsible for them looking as good as they do. It's apparently the same one used in parks and it tastes (and looks it). The recipe is super simple and printed on the container of the flour Here you go if you need it

Fellow celiac here! I have a horrible selection for grocery stores, so I buy a lot of things off of Amazon a case at a time. It is way cheaper than I can find anywhere this way. Stop buying the Udi's muffins. Honestly, they taste like crap and you can make ones that are soooo much better! I like to do a lot of baking mixes so I don't have to guess on what ratios of flours to use. Anyways, here are a few of my favorites:

• Pasta that tastes good and has good texture - Tinkyada
  
  
• Pizza crust mix that my husband likes even better than the gluten filled stuff I used to make - Bob's Red Mill GF Pizza Crust Mix
  
  
• Bread mix that we make in a dedicated GF bread machine - Glutino Gluten Free Bread Mix
  
  
• Muffins - King Arthur Muffin Mix
  
  
• Pancakes, waffles, cookies, biscuits, muffins, just all around awesome baking substitute - Pamela's Gluten Free Baking Mix
  
  
  If you get adventurous and want to try baking your items with a flour substitute, Cup4cup or Better Batter are both great. I've used them both as replacements of regular flour in things I've made and turned out very similar to using regular flour. I also make my own chicken fingers using the GF Bisquick (there is a GF chicken finger recipe on the box). We also eat a lot of rice and quinoa.

I used this pancake mix.

It definitely tastes healthy but its actually my favorite breakfast atm! Instead of using water, eggs, and coconut oil, I used unsweetened cashew milk, egg beaters, and light butter which tasted a lot better and is lower in calories.

Try using these for pancakes. Love love love making breakfast for everyone. Definitely one of my favorite parts of festival camping.

I use Birch Benders Paleo Pancake Mix and Walden Farms Maple Syrup. I’m too lazy to mix up my own ingredients for both 🤣 11 net carbs for both and the O Calorie & Carb syrup is really good. Found both at the grocery store or available on Amazon. With Costco bacon this meal was only 300 calories FTW

Here's the mix Disney uses, apparently:

A can will make several batches. Read the instructions, as I screwed up the first batch because I did something wrong (you add an egg and water, but I still messed that up somehow...) but there's a bunch of mix in this container.

I need to make more one weekend when my wife and I are both feeling better (stupid cold). We did not have a special Mickey Waffle Maker, but just used a plain boring round one.

That baking blend in the article seems like BS

Amazon Link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01898YHXK

It claims
Fat: 3g
Protein: 6g
Total Carbs: 12g
Dietary Fiber: 11g
Soluble Fiber: 2g
Insoluble Fiber: 10g
Sugar: 2g

And that's per 1/4 cup (or 24g) serving.

So lets see here.

Total Carbs = Starch + Sugar + Fiber
12 = 11 + 2
er...
How about Dietary Fiber = Soluble + Insoluble Fiber
11 = 2 + 10
er...


Maybe it's the non-US format and fiber is already separate.
So... in that case, per 24g serving it has
3g Fat
6g Protein
12g Net Carbs
11g Fiber

3 + 6 + 12 + 11 = 24 (shit, no), it's 32
so, if it's the non-US label, it has 32g per 24g.....wait a second


Basically if it's a non-US label, it must be made and packaged in the TARDIS. If it's a US label, they're lying about something.

Waffle iron plus Carbon's Golden Malted equal waffle bliss any time I want.

They don’t have protein gluten free ones. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01H2JGZRI/ref=mp_s_a_1_4_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1520904600&sr=8-4&keywords=paleo+pancake+and+waffle+mix&dpPl=1&dpID=51N1QGCwgsL&ref=plSrch

These are pretty high protein and gluten free. Not Kodiak but you can find them at some Costco’s

Not had that brand, but I've made waffles with Good Dee's before and they were pretty solid. Throw in some know or lily's chocolate chips and some zero sugar syrup and I didn't miss "normal" waffles at all.

I 100% recommend checking out Birch Benders Paleo Pancake mix. They definitely have a different taste and texture from wheat pancakes, but they aren't terrible. Hopefully they're something that works for you.

high five! for quitting smoking! Sorry to hear about the celiac disease.

Bulk Honey Nut Cheerios

Bulk baked beans

Bulk gluten free pancake mix

Gluten free brownie mix

Gluten free corn bread mix

I've tried gluten free baked goods mixes and they're pretty good!

Plus the cd on my list gets you in the ballpark of $100 - just some ideas.

According to Google it's this.

Good Dee's Pancake Mix

Have your macros and eat waffles too!

SERIOUSLY YES.

I think it works pretty well, but I still swear by https://www.amazon.com/Cup4Cup-KTS-2519-Gluten-Free-Flour/dp/B0096MPAWQ. Still it's not a ready-made pie crust recipe.

Generally, I've found the best crusts have condensed milk powder in them. I'm not sure if the Pillsbury blend has it though.

i eat these when i get a pancake and syrup craving. i lather them up with butter and a few tbsps of their sugar free maple sugar. hits the spot.

I love Kodiak Cakes! The dark chocolate kind is amazing, I’ll make it in the microwave and it tastes like a brownie in a mug 😍 Good luck!! You got this!

Not egg dominant but decent protein:

Kodiak Cakes + Egg whites instead of water. You can mix in some milk as well/protein powder. This will also make them thicker/fluffier.

Cake

From the recipe: premixed oat fiber, almond flour, and coconut flour. Pretty expensive...

Different varieties for Kodiak cakes, but here's one of them: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00LH6ZAN8/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?qid=1421866811&sr=8-3&dpPl=1&dpID=51u1DqxgsuL&ref=plSrch&pi=AC_SY200_QL40

But I'm going to be real and say that I didn't like the texture. I normally make my own from scratch.

Cup4cup is flour, made with things that are not wheat - like, rice flour and tapioca and potato starch. I work in a kitchen store, and the gluten-free customers are really enthusiastic about it.

I'm not a health professional, but to my understanding, going gluten-free essentially has no health benefits unless you are Celiac or allergic to wheat or have some level of gluten intolerance. Some people don't even realize their slight allergy or intolerance until they go gluten-free and suddenly feel better. As long as you maintain a healthy balance, gluten-free is not actively unhealthy. You can still eat rice, quinoa, barley, millet, potatoes, and other starches.

The benefits of supporting your spouse and not having to plan twice the number of meals might make it worth a try.

Bonus: Here is an easy way to fix rice, barley, or millet. In a covered casserole dish, combine some rice, barley, or millet with twice as much broth (beef, chicken, veggie, mushroom, whatever you like), cover, and bake at 350 for about 45 minutes. For softer barley, you can add more liquid. Easy squeezy.

What kind of fuckery is this? Pancake mix in a one-use disposable measuring cup? That level of waste boggles my mind. And 8 of them for $19, why that's only a little more than $2 each, which is about what I pay for a whole box of mix that lasts 5 or 6 uses.

Lakanto Low Carb, Gluten-free, Protein Pancake Waffle Mix | Original 1 Pound https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071ZQJV4X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_dTMuBb3yhFfrp


I used Lakanto Maple Flavored Syrup with them and I am 100% pleased. Also have some bacon here and avocado with nutrional yeast.

I try not to, although my parents will get it when they're too lazy to cook (which is most of the time). I just can't stomach it. My mom gets a lot of processed shit at the store that would be cheaper and healthier to make from scratch, and it wouldn't take much longer. Example. I can't even call these pancakes.

Kodiak pancakes maybe?

A bit pricey, but worth it.

Nice try, 4chan

Not dumb questions at all! So my protein waffles are just waffles made in a waffle maker using a high protein waffle mix. I really like Kodiak Cakes waffle mix because I get great waffles using just mix and water. So no extra sugar or calories. Some people make them using protein powder but I haven't been brave enough for that yet.

& I'm definitely not eating just 300 calories a day, lol. My TDEE (what I burn in a day) is around 1800 calories, so I eat about 1500. Therefore I'm cutting out and not eating those extra 300 calories I burned.

Feel free to ask any more questions! And if you're female I highly recommend checking out /r/xxfitness it's an incredibly helpful subreddit and I learned a ton from reading there.

While there is, truly, shame in the pancake mix game...I still LOVE:

Carbon's Pancake and Waffle flour

IF you use a mix, use Carbon's, otherwise what you see in the thread is exactly what you are looking for. I would advocate adding a bit of vanilla to your home made pancake mix though.

And whatever you do...be sure to use peanut butter on your pancakes.

I got it from Amazon! Here's the listing I used:
