How To Freeze Pancakes The Easy Way

How to Freeze Pancakes

Knowing how to freeze pancakes is key to ensuring your family gets to eat all those delish pancakes you make, especially if there are leftovers or you decide to meal-prep them for a kiddo. This method is easy and keeps the pancakes fresh in the freezer until you’re ready to enjoy them. (These Buckwheat Pancakes are a nutritious option to try.)

Supplies You Need

To freeze pancakes, you need a freezer bag. You can use disposable plastic freezer bags from the store, or you can use a reusable silicone or plastic bag. The reusable ones may save you money in the long run since you don’t have to keep buying them, but they both work similarly. Sign up for our email updates to get tips and ideas sent to your inbox.

How to Store

Place your bag with the pancakes in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Best Tips for Success

Let the pancakes cool fully before storing. Try to remove as much air as possible from the bag before sealing to help reduce potential ice crystals. Place parchment between layers of pancakes so they don’t freeze together. This helps if you want to remove one at a time. Thaw overnight in the fridge or on the counter at room temperature as desired. Freeze for up to 6 months. Warm in the microwave for 15-30 seconds to warm through and serve. (You can also serve them at room temperature.) Or pop into a toaster oven.
