Cinnamon Pecan “Oatmeal” Pancakes in a Jar

Happy Friday all!  In keeping with yesterday’s theme of Single Serving Cakes In A Mug, here is another recipe I get asked for every year.  It all started a few years back when we bought my Sister a pancake griddle and my brother a waffle maker.  I really wanted to give them something to make up “fun” from our kitchen.  I have made cookies in a jar before, so I figured, why not do that with one of my favorite pancake mixes.  The added bonus is that It totally works for waffles too.

This recipe keeps in the Mason Jar for about 6 months.  You can layer the ingredients or mix it all up before putting it in the jar.

It’s a fun, inexpensive gift that only takes minutes to make with what you have in your kitchen.

QUESTION OF THE DAY:

Have you ever made anything in a jar?

Do tell because I am obsessed with Mason Jars and all their possibilities from jam, to soups, to cookies, pancake mixes and more.

Night all!
