How to make the best pancakes
Pancakes are pretty easy to make, but there are a couple things you can do to make them even better. First, do not over mix! Pancake batter should be whisked just to combine the ingredients. There’s no need to use an electric mixer of any sort, you can mix pancakes just fine by hand.
Second, after your pancake batter is mixed, let it sit for 5-10 minutes. This helps activate the leavening ingredients and helps yield fluffy pancakes! For this recipe, you can pour the batter in the pan, then let it sit before baking them pancakes.
How can I prevent my muffins from sticking to the pan?
To help keep your muffins from sticking to the pan, I suggest doing one of two things. First, you can use mini muffin liners for this recipe. Seconds, you can spray your muffin tin with non-stick spray that includes flour. This spray is specifically for baked goods and works so well! I never have my baked muffins stick to the pan again!
How can I easily scoop out the batter for the muffins?
A medium cookie/ ice cream scoop with a lever works perfectly for measuring out mini sized muffins like these! The medium scoop measures about 1.5 tablespoons of batter in each cup.
What kinds of fruit can you put in pancakes?
You can add a variety of fruit to pancakes with fantastic results! Berries are always a good idea. I used a combination of blueberries, raspberries and diced strawberries in my berry protein pancake bites, but you’re welcome to stick with just one or two. I also think these would be delicious with small bits of banana or raisins in them.

I am on weight watchers and was wondering calories, fat , etc??
Joanna says
Hi! These look amazing! Any way to substitute the milk for maybe almond milk?
Jessica says
Of course Joanna! I think almond milk would be great in this recipe.
Kathy says
These look absolutely delicious. After my cancer surgery I only have 20% of my stomach left and it fills up quickly so these would be awesome for breakfast and a welcome change. Gonna put the ingredients on my shopping list for next week and thank you, thank you for sharing….
Nellie says
I’m so sorry to hear about your surgery, but I hope you enjoy the recipe!
Lindsay says
Can almond milk or coconut milk be used instead of regular milk?
Jessica says
Yes! You can use either of those!
Linda Worthington says
What is the calorie account?
Sylvia says
If you use regular pancake mix, do you use the same ingredients that are in the recipe?
Jessica says
Follow package instructions for the pancake mix you’re using, then add the berries like the recipe states. 🙂
Mary Ellen says
Can you substitute dark chocolate chips and walnuts for the berries? May be sprinkle with cocoa powder?
Nellie says
Mary Ellen – Absolutely! Those sound like great ideas!
Barbara says
I would like to make these for our fellowship after church. Would they be good cold?
Jessica says
I think serving them room temperature would be fine!
Diane says
I live at high altitude and these were very dense do you have suggestions to improve this?
Jessica says
Did you overmix the batter Diane? Pancakes don’t like to be overmixed…
Mary says
I do WW do you happen to know the point value on each?
Lisa says
So good! My daughter loved them.
I used frozen raspberries and blueberries and it worked perfectly.
Next time I’ll spray the pan better sine they stuck to the pan a bit.
Laurie says
Hi. I’ve made these twice and love them. The only problem I have is that they stick to the mini muffin liners. Any suggestions on why this happens? Also can these be cooked and then frozen?
Jessica says
Have you tried using the non-stick spray made specifically for baking? It has flour in it and REALLY works! Check it out next time you’re at the grocery store. And yes, they can be frozen and then reheated!
Britni says

Jessica says
you’re welcome Britni!
Meagen Brosius says
I love these! They’re super easy for breakfast or snacking and they make a great on the go option for those days when we just can’t get it together in the morning. Freezing them and reheating makes like SO easy!
Kat says
If I did these in a whoopie pie pan would the cooking time change at all?
Jessica says
I’ve never even heard of a whoopie pie pan, so unfortunately, I’m no help! Sorry!
Barb says
I’m finding it difficult to find this particular kind of mix. I love Krusteaz brand but have been to many stores with no luck. Can you let me know what stores might carry it? They look delish and am growing inpatient to get my mouth on these cuties!
Alison says
I get it at Smiths and have seen it at Walmart as well but you can also order it from Amazon if you are not having any luck at stores near you!
Nicky moran says
Can you tell me where I can get this protein pancake mix from
Alison says
I get it at smiths but I have seen that you can order it from amazon too!

This recipe just came across my Facebook feed. Storage suggestions? My initial thought is in a airtight container or should they be refrigerated? Thank you!
Jessica says
They’ll need to be refrigerated Christi! Hope you enjoy them!
