How to Make Nutritious High-Protein Pancake Mini Muffins
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin pan by greasing it or using a silicone tray to ensure easy removal.
Combine the plain protein pancake mix in a large bowl, creating a well in the center. Add in the milk, eggs, maple syrup, and Greek yogurt, whisking them together until well-mixed and smooth.
Fold the mixture gently, combining the pancake mix into the wet ingredients. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine for maintaining that fluffy texture.
Divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cavity about ¼ cup full. If using mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts, gently press them into the batter now.
Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool the muffins for a few minutes in the pan before gently transferring them to a wire rack. Serve them warm, or store them for a nutritious snack later!
