These are my go-to pancakes every weekend and usually one day during the week. If you don’t have the Krusteaz pancake mix, it’s the best. I get a huge bag at Costco and Lily and I come up with different pancake recipes using the mix as the base. These are super yummy and my kids even love them. This particular recipe has protein in it, so if you have a child that doesn’t get a lot of protein during the week and you want to sneak it in make sure you get one that is safe for children or omit the protein altogether.

Side note: I made, ate, photographed, and posted these pancakes before 9 am. WHAT NOW!? Kicking ass this Saturday. Off to the gym. Happy weekending everyone. Xx

Prep 5 minutes
Total 5 minutes
Quick protein-packed pancakes made with Krusteaz mix, oats, banana, blueberries, and vanilla whey protein powder.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup Krusteaz Pancake mix
  • ¼ cup 1 minute oats
  • 1 cup water possibly 1 tbs more if batter is too thick
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 banana, ripe
  • 1-2 cups blueberries
  • ¼ cup vanilla whey protein powder

Method

  1. Add all ingredients together in a large bowl and use a fork to mash the banana until there are no more chunks. A ripe, almost brown banana works very well as it adds sweetness and keeps the pancakes moist.
  2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat for two minutes. Use a 1/4 measuring cup to scoop batter onto the griddle. Add 4-5 dry blueberries inside each pancake. When bubbles come to the top and almost all pop, flip the pancake. Cook for one more minute before transferring to a plate.

Notes

Never grease your pan or griddle when making pancakes. Always use a dry non-stick pan for perfectly brown pancakes. If your child doesn't get much protein during the week, use a protein powder safe for children or omit the protein altogether.
