Jump to RecipePeachy Pancakes Recipe Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole-grain Pancake Mix (such As Bob’s Red Mill)
- 2 whole Eggs
- 2 Tbsp. Vegetable Oil (or As Called For In Your Mix)
- 2 Tbsp. Sugar
- 1 Tbsp. Vanilla Extract
- 2 Tbsp. (heaping) Peach Preserves, plus more for serving
- 2 whole Peaches (can use frozen if fresh aren’t available)
- Butter, for frying and serving
- Pancake Syrup, for serving
How To Make Peachy Pancakes
- Mix the batter: In a large bowl, combine the pancake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, sugar, and vanilla with 2 cups of water. Stir until just combined, then stir in the heaping tablespoons of peach preserves.
- Add the fresh peaches: Pit the peaches and dice half of them. Gently fold the diced peaches into the pancake batter. Slice the remaining half of the peaches and set them aside for garnish.
- Cook the pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and melt a pat of butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look dry, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve: Serve the pancakes warm, topped with a pat of butter, a drizzle of pancake syrup, a spoonful of extra peach preserves, and the reserved fresh peach slices.

Recipe Tips
- How to get fluffy pancakes? The most important rule is to not overmix the batter. Mix just until the wet and dry ingredients are combined; a few lumps are perfectly fine. Overmixing develops gluten and makes pancakes tough.
- Can I use frozen peaches? Yes. If using frozen peaches, there’s no need to thaw them first. Add them directly to the batter. They will thaw as the pancakes cook.
- How do I know when to flip a pancake? The visual cues are key. Wait until you see bubbles forming and popping on the surface of the pancake and the edges start to look dry and set. This is the perfect time to flip.
- Can I use a different pancake mix? Absolutely. If you use a different mix, just follow the liquid and oil requirements on your specific package and then add the sugar, vanilla, preserves, and peaches as directed.
What To Serve With Peachy Pancakes
These fruity pancakes are a wonderful breakfast on their own, but they are even better as part of a larger brunch spread. They pair perfectly with savory sides like:
- Crispy bacon or breakfast sausage links
- A side of scrambled or fried eggs
- A dollop of plain Greek yogurt or whipped cream
How To Store Peachy Pancakes
- Refrigerate: Store leftover cooked pancakes in an airtight container or zip-top bag in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: For longer storage, let the pancakes cool completely, then stack them with a piece of parchment paper between each one. Place the stack in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Reheat in the toaster, oven, or microwave.

FAQs
It’s best to cook pancake batter shortly after mixing, as the baking powder starts to lose its leavening power over time. For a head start, you can mix all the dry ingredients in one bowl and all the wet ingredients in another the night before. In the morning, just combine the two.
Flat pancakes can be a result of overmixing the batter or having old, inactive baking powder in your pancake mix. Check the expiration date on your mix for the best results.
Yes, this recipe is very adaptable. Apricot preserves would be a wonderful substitute that pairs beautifully with the fresh peaches.

Ingredients
2 cups Whole-grain Pancake Mix
2 whole Eggs
2 Tbsp. Vegetable Oil
2 Tbsp. Sugar
1 Tbsp. Vanilla Extract
2 Tbsp. Peach Preserves
2 whole Peaches
Butter, for frying
Syrup and extra preserves, for serving
Directions
- In a large bowl, mix the pancake mix, eggs, oil, sugar, vanilla, and 2 cups of water until just combined.
- Stir in the peach preserves.
- Dice one peach and fold the pieces into the batter. Slice the other peach for garnish.
- Heat a buttered skillet over medium-low heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
- Serve warm with butter, syrup, extra preserves, and the fresh peach slices.
Notes
- The key to fluffy pancakes is to not overmix the batter. A few lumps are perfectly fine and expected.
- Using ripe, in-season peaches will provide the best flavor, but frozen peaches work well as a substitute when fresh are not available.
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes after mixing if you have the time. This allows the gluten to relax and can result in more tender pancakes.
