Delicious pancakes!

The mix is easy to make and the ingredients are healthy. The pancakes turn out delicious and nutritious! And although I was expecting a deeper purple color, probably because of the name, it didn’t affect the taste!

Purple Pancakes but make them waffles!

Purple Pancakes… But Make Them Waffles!

Instead of pancakes this time, I decided to switch things up and make waffles using my waffle maker. My goal was to turn the entire package into a freezer-friendly meal prep for busy mornings. It delivered beautifully. One full package made 14 waffles, now tucked away in the freezer and ready for quick, nourishing breakfasts on the run.

What I really appreciate about this mix from Sixteen Grains is how simple and intentional it is. Minimal ingredients. No unnecessary extras. Just thoughtfully made, farm-fresh goodness straight from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. It’s the kind of product that lets you feel good about what you’re feeding your family.

It’s also a wonderfully economical way to feed the family. One package stretches far, reduces food waste, and makes mornings faster (and calmer) without relying on expensive boxed breakfasts or takeout. Having homemade waffles ready to go in the freezer feels like a small win both nutritionally and financially.

The flavour deserves its own moment. Made with Saskatoon berries, these waffles have a naturally sweet, berry taste that’s comforting and satisfying. The best way to truly gauge the flavour is to try them plain. No fruit. No maple syrup. No whipping cream. And I did exactly that! And honestly? They’re absolutely delicious on their own. The berry flavour shines without being overpowering, and the waffles don’t need toppings (though you could certainly add them). That’s always my test of a great mix and this one passes with flying colours.

Buying local and supporting Canadian-made products matters deeply to me and my family, and this is exactly the kind of brand I feel good about bringing into our home. It’s comforting to know where your food comes from and even better when it aligns with your values.

Whether you’re making pancakes, waffles, or planning ahead with freezer meals like I did, this mix makes mornings easier without compromising on ingredients or quality.

If you’re curious, you can find them at sixteengrains.ca and explore all the beautiful, thoughtfully made mixes they offer.

This one has officially earned a permanent spot in my pantry.

Thanks to @thisisbutterly and @sixteengrains for giving me the opportunity to try this pancake mix in exchange for my honest review.

Toddler approved

We loved the taste of the Sixteen Grains Purple Pancake Mix — lightly sweet, fluffy, and so good. Even better knowing it’s 100% Canadian and made with farm-fresh ingredients.
Most importantly? Toddler approved (and that’s the hardest critic in the house 😄

The best pancake mix!

The sixteen grains purple pancake mix is a 10/10! I love it and they are kid approved (even without syrup!). We loved the slight sweetness from the Saskatoon berries and the natural ingredients. Can’t wait to try more of their products!

Perfect breakfast

I am in love with this pancake mix. With this mix pancakes fluffy, soft and classic tender texture super easy to make and with perfect sweetness. Light berry flavour gives it a little twist. Batter is super easy to make just with basic ingredients like milk, egg and butter mix all together and cook both the sides evenly until golden brown, with this your super yummy, taste pancakes are ready. You can serve it with maple syrup as I did. It becomes my quick Sunday breakfast which my kids loves. I highly recommend it, do try and enjoy fluffy pancakes at home in just 15min.

Delicious

The texture turns out soft and fluffy, and the natural purple color makes breakfast feel extra special without being overpowering. It’s easy to prepare, doesn’t taste artificial, and feels like a wholesome option for mornings.

Purple Pancakes is yummy and filling!

The pancake mix indicates that it's made with Saskatoon berries, which provides the purple part of the product's name.

I poured the product into a mixing bowl. I liked how fine the mix was.

I did something different after seeing the texture of this pancake mix. I thought it would be better as a loaf. I changed course by adding water, maple syrup, and bacon to the mix.

I also didn't want to put it in a traditional loaf pan because it may take longer to bake given how tall the loaf would rise. Instead, I used a 9 x 9 silicone baking pan.

While mixing this mix, I love how fluffy the batter got. It mixed well.

I put it in to bake in the oven at 375⁰F for 45 minutes. It smelled good. The tip was crispy. The interior was moist. I loved the different textures.

The purple colour was extremely faint after my loaf was done. The berry flavour was extremely subtle. I wish that there were more Saskatoon berries in this pancake mix.

The bacon helped bring out the yumminess of the pancake mix flavours. The maple syrup and water helped with the moisture. The grains kept me full and satisfied.

This pancake mix was great. I'd put in blueberries next time and make this loaf again. I'd also make traditional pancakes. I'm sure they'd be excellent.

Proof You Don’t Have to Settle for “Meh” Pancakes

I’m pretty picky when it comes to pancake mixes, so I’ll be honest — I wasn’t sure how these were going to be. But they’re actually so good. Soft, lightly sweet, and they don’t taste like you’re “settling” for a healthier option.

They’re made with Saskatoon berries, only four simple ingredients, and they’re Canadian-made, which I love. One package makes a full batch (around 16 pancakes), so it’s easy for busy mornings or feeding little ones without pulling out a million things.

I also love knowing that two pancakes are only 110 calories — it just makes me feel better about what I’m serving. Definitely one of those things I’ll keep on hand and make again
