Why You'll Love These Mini Pancake Muffins:

• Quick Prep. Using the pancake mix makes these pancakes super fast to prep in just minutes, then pop them in the oven.
• Minimal Mess. The batter whips up in one bowl and if you grease the muffin pan enough, the pancakes will pop right out without leaving any batter behind.
• Easy to Make. No standing over the oven and flipping required. Just pour and bake.
• High Protein. A great way to start the day. Each 4 pancakes is over 7 grams of protein.

Ingredients:

Kodiak Power Cakes Flapjack and Waffle Mix: I used the Buttermilk version for this recipe and added my own mini chocolate chips, which I highly recommend.

Milk: Water can be used with pancake mixes, but milk always makes the results taste better.

*Full ingredients and quantities can be found in the recipe card below.

Substitutions and Variations:

• You can use other forms of pancake mix for this recipe, but I haven't tested different brands.
• The whole milk can be substituted with 2%.
• The chocolate chips can be removed from the recipe or replaced with blueberries.

If you're looking for other variations of protein pancakes, try these Cottage Cheese Protein Pancakes, which are regular sized and cooked in the skillet.

How to Make Pancake Bites:

Expert Tips:

• Don't over mix the batter.
• Heavily grease each muffin tin with vegetable oil or cooking spray or the pancakes will stick and be difficult to remove.
