Blender Pie Free Printable Recipe

This is another easy recipe made with my DIY Biscuit Mix! Just use the home made in place of Bisquick!

If you are in a hurry for a dessert or have unexpected company coming, it’s easy to put together this pie from pantry staples. I love that about this recipe. Our kids even learned to make it when they were 9 or 10.  Because a lot of dried flaked or shredded coconut contains chemicals, I recommend using an organic unsweetened flaked or shredded coconut like this one.

I found this recipe in a newspaper at least 15 years ago. It was in a column called “Good Neighbors” where people would write in and ask or give recipes or tips. At the time, the “good neighbor” said it was over 30 years old and that her son made it in school. I have been using it as a pantry staple for years because I normally have all of these ingredients on hand. I use homemade biscuit mix instead of bisquick, and you can use any brand.  It kind of tastes like a coconut custard pie. I don’t always use a blender (I didn’t for the photo here, I just used a whisk and you can see the coconut flakes). My family likes cocoa added to it as well for a flavor somewhat like a mounds candy bar.

DIY Biscuit Mix Recipe and Waffle Maker Cinnamon Rolls

I got this biscuit mix recipe from another mom almost 15 years ago. I have been using it ever since. My husband will buy pancake mix in a box on occasion, but I normally just make this.

DIY Biscuit Mix Recipe and Waffle Maker Cinnamon Rolls

I have used a variety of flour combinations, and can up to 1/2 whole wheat with great success. Success means my family won’t complain about the whole wheat biscuits, pancakes, cobbler topping, and waffles, etc.

Biscuit Mix

DIY Biscuit Mix

9 c flour (I like 1 c oat flour,  4 c whole wheat, and 4 c unbleached white flour. Feel free to experiment!)

1/3 c baking powder

1 T salt

1 t cream of tartar

1/4 c sugar

2 c shortening ( I like to use coconut oil too. It works great! Unless you want to refrigerate, use something that will keep in the pantry.)

Mix by hand, with a food processor, hand mixer, or stand mixer until it resembles coarse crumbs. Use this for any biscuit mix recipe!

Every time I make this, I feel thankful for my stand mixer and my mother in law. I hear so many negative mother in law stories, I feel like I should sneak in a good one! My super amazing mother in law got me my stand mixer for my first birthday after marrying her son. She is gone now,  too​ young, but what a humongous blessing it was to have had a mother in law that not only would buy me a gift like that, but was so loving and supportive of our family!

DIY Biscuit Mix and Waffle Maker Cinnamon Rolls

To make the waffle maker cinnamon rolls, just mix up a batch of biscuit dough. I just dump in a couple of cups of the mix and add enough milk (or milk substitute/water) to make biscuit dough consistency. Then roll the dough out in a large rectangle just under 1/2 inch thick. Brush the dough rectangle with melted butter or coconut oil, sprinkle with
enough brown sugar just to cover and then dust it with cinnamon. You can add raisins at this point if you like!

Roll the dough into a log and cut into slices. Put slices into the waffle maker at the same temperature as waffles and cook as per your waffle maker directions. Mine cooked in the same amount of time and the same temperature as waffles, despite the fact that they were much more dense than waffle batter.

I dusted them with powdered sugar, and some ate them like that while others added syrup. You could make an icing or glaze if desired.

Overall, they were super easy and tasted like cinnamon rolls without the wait time for proofing and rising with traditional cinnamon rolls.
