Ingredients
Instructions

- Shake vigorously to mix well and store in the refrigerator.
Tips & Substitutions
For a fluffier texture, consider using an egg substitute like applesauce or mashed banana instead of eggs when making pancakes or cookies. You can also experiment with different types of milk, such as almond milk or oat milk, for a dairy-free option. If whole wheat flour is not available, you can replace it with all-purpose flour, but this will lower the protein content. For additional flavor, try adding vanilla extract or cinnamon.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your high protein pancakes with fresh fruit, yogurt, or a drizzle of maple syrup for a delicious breakfast. For a heartier meal, pair them with scrambled eggs or sausage. These pancakes also make a great base for a dessert; top them with whipped cream and berries for a delightful treat. They can also be enjoyed alongside dishes like Irish Fruit Bread for a unique brunch spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store the pancake and cookie mix in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness for up to three months. When you're ready to use it, simply scoop out the desired amount and follow your favorite pancake or cookie recipe. If you have leftovers after cooking, store them in an airtight container. Reheat pancakes in a toaster or on a skillet for a quick breakfast.
