How to freeze pancakes

One of my easiest ways to help you save money and TIME is to freeze your homemade pancakes! You only have to make the mess once, but you can freeze enough for 3 or 4 breakfasts. Now you can enjoy homemade pancakes during the weekday.

This saves you time and money!

Don’t buy those premade frozen pancakes (unless they are free of course). Instead make your own at home and save a ton of money.

We do this all the time. My kids can now have a fun breakfast anytime of the week without me messing up the kitchen.

It is that simple! Make sure you check out all my freezer cooking tips here, so you can save even more money!

By the way – get your kids in the kitchen. Our kiddos (of all ages) love to help cook. Pancakes and waffles are one of the easiest recipes to have your kids help with.

You can go HERE to purchase yourself a griddle like ours. We love making pancakes with a griddle. It makes it MUCH easier to make big batches.

Enjoy!

Way to Freeze Them

Allow to cool completely. I just let them sit on the counter while we eat our breakfast (or our brinner). See my picture above… I was telling the truth – I make a LOT of pancakes or waffles all at once.

Once they are cool, lay them out on a cookie sheet. Place in the freezer for a few hours.

Allow the pancakes to freeze completely through. Then place them in a freezer bag. I like to use wax paper in between each pancake.

How do you freeze pancakes without them sticking?

The reason, you freeze them like this, is so you can easily just pull out one or 2 pancakes as you need them. This is called flash freezing.
