Cake Mix Pancakes

Ingredients

  1. 3/4 cup yellow cake mix
    1/2 cup flour, divided
    3/4 cup red velvet cake mix
    1 1/3 cups milk, divided
    2 eggs, divided
    Plain Greek yogurt, for topping
    Handful of blueberries, for topping

Directions

  1. Mix the yellow cake mix and half of the flour together with a whisk. In a separate bowl, mix the red velvet cake mix and remaining flour together in a bowl.
  2. Split the milk and eggs between the two pancake mixtures and whisk to combine, until largely lump-free.
  3. Grease pan or griddle and start cooking the yellow batter. Scoop in the red batter and swirl together. These pancakes should be cooked at a very low temperature (especially if using red velvet, which browns quickly).
  4. Top with blueberries and Greek yogurt. Add maple syrup to Greek yogurt if desired. Serve immediately.
