Tips
On lazy days, we have placed all the dry ingredients in the bowl of our stand mixer, dumped all the wet on top and mixed all the ingredients together at once with the flat paddle. Just stop the mixer when there are a few streaks of dry mix left. Remove the bowl from the stand mixer, use a large rubber spatula to fold the mixture once or twice and scrape it right into your pan. It works. Go for it.
