Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups plain protein pancake mix
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 tablespoon maple syrup
  • cup plain 0% Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp cardamom
  • 1 cup mix-ins of choice (e.g., cooked and chopped turkey sausage, berries, diced bananas, chocolate chips, cheddar cheese and chives, bacon)

Equipment

  • Muffin Pan
  • Silicone baking tray
  • Large bowl
  • Whisk
  • 1/4 cup measuring spoon

Method
 

Prepare Your Workspace
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 F (175 C). While the oven warms, grease your muffin pan or silicone baking tray thoroughly with non-stick spray or line it with paper liners to prevent sticking.
Mix the Batter
  1. In a large bowl, add your plain protein pancake mix. Gently press the mix along the edges to form a well in the center. Into this well, add the milk, eggs, maple syrup, and Greek yogurt. Whisk these wet ingredients together thoroughly until smooth.
  2. Once the wet ingredients are well combined, gently mix them into the surrounding pancake mix. Mix just until the ingredients are incorporated; do not overmix the batter to ensure light and fluffy muffins.
Add Your Mix-ins
  1. Spoon about ¼ cup of batter into each of the 12 muffin cavities in your prepared muffin pan. Scatter your mix-ins of choice over the top of each muffin. Use the back of a spoon to gently mix them into the batter, preventing heavier mix-ins from sinking.
Bake to Perfection
  1. Place your muffin pan into the preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden-brown and firm to the touch, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Avoid opening the oven door too frequently.
  2. Once baked, allow the muffins to cool slightly in the tray before removing them.

Notes

These protein pancake muffins are incredibly practical for meal prep; store cooled muffins in an airtight container for 3-5 days in the fridge or freeze for 2-3 months. Reheat easily in the microwave or oven. Avoid overmixing the batter for the best fluffy texture.
