Was it breakfast, or was it dessert? It really could have been either. All 3 boys thought I was the coolest Mom ever…so it was a winner. Krusteaz had sent me a care package recently and I was thinking how much fun it would be to make them a baked pancake. I adapted a recipe off their site and made it mine….. most any brand of buttermilk style pancake mix can be used.

Add pancake mix, sugar and cinnamon in a large bowl.
Whisk wet ingredients together, pour over dry and whisk until just mixed.
Divide equally among cups (they will be full). Bake for 14 to 20 minutes, until golden on top and a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
Let cool for 5 minutes, transfer to a cooling rack. Once cooled, frost as desired.
