How to Make High Protein Pancake Muffins
Step 1: Preheat to 350 degrees
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray your muffin tin with oil. Or you can also use muffin liners!
Step 2: Combine Ingredients
In a large bowl, mix in your pancake mix, greek yogurt, egg whites, and cinnamon.
Step 3: Mix Bowl Add Ins
(Optional) separate the mix into 3 bowls and mix in your desired toppings. You could also just add toppings on top of the mix in the tin itself, but I prefer them mixed in.
Step 4: Fill Muffin Tin
Fill the muffin pan with mix, up to 3/4 full. You can add toppings on top again if you’d like.
You can also make mini muffins with a mini muffin pan.
Step 5: Bake
Bake for about 13-15 minutes, until the sides are golden.
Step 6: Add Toppings
(Optional) serve with additional toppings. I served the strawberry muffins with honey, blueberry muffins with coconut whip cream, and chocolate chip muffins with sunflower butter. It was delicious!
Don’t add your toppings until right before you serve them.
These turned out so delicious! If you find yourself skipping breakfast a lot, you’ll have to try this easy meal prep! I share so many easy and healthy recipes here on my website, and if you need ideas, you have to check them out!

Starting your day off with a high protein breakfast is such a great way to ensure that you’ll have a protein packed day. Most of these recipes are also great for meal prepping ahead of a busy week. Hope you enjoy!
High Protein Sheet Pan Pancakes
This sheet pan pancakes recipe is essentially the same as the high protein pancake muffin recipe that I shared today! I made this recipe first and I think that I prefer the muffin recipe – simply because it’s easier to serve. But you could prepare the sheet pan pancakes with the fruit arranged as an American flag for the 4th of July – or another patriotic holiday.
High Protein Brunch Bowl
This protein packed brunch bowl is so delicious and easy to make. If you’re a savory breakfast fan – like me – then you have to give this a try. This recipe isn’t really a “meal prep recipe” however, you could prepare some items ahead of time. For example, the jammy eggs and potatoes could be made beforehand and stored for a couple days so that when you put your brunch bowl together you just have to reheat the crispy potatoes in your microwave.
High Protein Blueberry Cheesecake Baked Oats
This casserole dish is so sweet and summery tasting. The greek yogurt, blue berries and rolled oats make for such a delicious combination – not to mention super healthy and full of protein. When you serve the dish, it’s so nice warmed up and served with fresh yogurt and blueberries.
High Protein Egg Bites
I’m such a big fan of the Starbucks egg bites so I was eager to make my own! There’s great tasting and protein-packed ingredients – and you can even add more ingredients that you enjoy, such as tomatoes, bacon, onion, etc. These are so great for meal prepping and eating on the go!
