I wanted my gift in a jar to be a gift well after the pancake mix was gone. So I did a little paint dipped technique on my jar before filling it with the mix. Just grab some DecoArt Gloss Enamels in true red
and desert turquoise
to match the printable labels. Paint a few coats on the outside of the jar as shown below allowing to dry between coats. Oh and grab the free printable labels as well.

Now lets fill that jar!
Apple Cinnamon Pancake Mix Recipe
- 3 cups flour
- 4 tsp cinnamon
- 2 1/4 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp baking powder
- 1 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup diced dried apple pieces
Mix all of the ingredients together then add to a wide mouth quart sized mason jar. This is JUST enough mix to fill the jar to the top.
Attach the printable labels to your jar once it is filled. One label (that I put on the back) has the instructions for using the mix to make pancakes. NOTE PLEASE CLICK HERE TO GET THE LABELS AND ENTIRE RECIPE!
Oh and yes….I did make some pancakes! The instructions serve 5 and use about 1/2 of the mix at a time. I prefer mine with a drizzle of syrup. YUM!
I used glue dots to attach my labels so they would not be permanent and could be removed from the jar once the mix was finished. I used washi tape around the lid band to give it another pop of red. This handmade gift is super simple to make and will put a smile on your recipients face. How many people will you treat to apple cinnamon pancake mix gift in a jar?
