Pancake Tacos are a super simple way to make breakfast fun! Who wouldn't want a pancake and taco combination?

Do I have the only kids who would rather eat with their hands than with a fork, knife or spoon? Especially when they're ravenous they will come to the kitchen table and dig right in grabbing food and inhaling it as fast as possible. There are some foods that seem like they should be eaten with utensils, but they’re honestly a lot more fun to enjoy using fingers like chicken nuggets, pizza balls and especially many breakfast foods.

We go through a lot of pancake mix in our house. As much as I love making pancakes from scratch, the convenience of a good mix can be a time-challenged mum's best friend. There have been plenty of sleep-deprived mornings where I've got to get everyone out the door to school and work and wearily reach for my box of Kodiak Cakes' whole wheat pancake mix. Don't get me wrong, I love Kodiak Cakes. They are easy to make, made from wholesome ingredients and turn out awesome pancakes every time. But at almost $6 a box, I resolved to come up with my own simple, make-ahead mix that I could keep in the pantry.

It took me a bit of trial and error, but I'm finally over the moon -- I mean really over the moon -- with this recipe. It actually might be one of my favourite weelicious recipes because of how versatile it is. I used the mix to make waffles this morning and the kids actually said they were the best I'd ever made!

This recipe makes a bit more mix than what you would normally find in a box of pre-made stuff, but that's a plus, especially if you have a house full of pancake lovers. Just keep the mix in an airtight container and anytime you want to make these, just add an egg, milk, a touch of oil and a scoop of the mix for whole wheat pancakes or waffles that are sure to please!
