The Trader Joe’s mixes (there can be a few kinds) are actually pretty standard and decent. But your,DH may have a hankering for the shake and pour kind from Walmart.
Also, add a smashed banana and some cinnamon to the mix to add a little moisture and flavor.
Oh gosh.
Not OP, but I'm not doing this. Anyone eating pancakes in my house gets the pancakes they are given, and will be freaking happy about it lol.
She came here asking about mixes because she decided she wasn’t going to tell him to stick it up his you-know-what like we would do. So rather than having her go on an expensive wild goose chase, she needs to figure out what he thinks of as “good”.
The mixes can’t all be bad. There might be something else going on. Are they burned? Heat too high? Raw in the middle? Tough from overmixing?

But I would not be interested in making pancakes for someone who could just make their own if mine don’t measure up.
And to the PP who wonders how women like me stay married: This isn't a highly sought-after position. If he wants a surrendered wife, he can give me half our assets and go find one. After he explains to my children that he thinks a wife is obligated to accede to her husband's every requirement.
There is a difference between a guy demanding something and a wife that wants to make their spouse happy... see?
What self respecting woman wants to make pancakes for a grown man whining and complaining that hers taste yucky? She should laugh in his face and hand him the spatula.
