This yummy breakfast favorite is perfect for those busy mornings when you need a satisfying, protein-packed meal to fuel your day.
Let’s take a closer look at the nutritional benefits of these tasty Protein Pancakes:
Pancake Mix: Our pancake mix is a convenient and versatile base for this dish, providing essential nutrients like fiber, iron, and B vitamins, which are important for maintaining energy levels and overall health.
Protein Powder: We’ve added high-quality protein powder to the mix, giving our pancakes a major protein boost to help support muscle growth, repair, and recovery. Plus, it keeps you feeling full and satisfied for longer.
2% Milk: A good source of calcium and vitamin D, 2% milk contributes to strong bones and teeth, and supports muscle function. It also adds a touch of creaminess to our pancakes.
Eggs: These little powerhouses are packed with essential nutrients, including high-quality protein, vitamins A, D, E, and B12, as well as choline, which is crucial for brain health. They help give our pancakes their fluffy texture.
Cinnamon: Not only does cinnamon add a warm, comforting flavor to the pancakes, but it also offers antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Some studies suggest that it may help regulate blood sugar levels too.
Vanilla Extract: A touch of vanilla extract enhances the natural sweetness of the pancakes, making them even more delicious without the need for added sugars.
