Guilt-Free Protein Pancakes

Guilt-Free Protein Pancakes
I love pancakes, but Insead of feeling fueled for the day after a shortstack, I feel as if I’ve been hit by a truck! Not OK! The empty carb-fest also makes me feel incredibly guilty. I really try to prepare meals that are high in nutrition, as we’re very busy during the day and it may be awhile before we sit down to eat again. Mealtime simply must count!

Therefore, I’m so excited that pancakes no longer have to be associated with empty calorie guilt! Paka Baking has created a natural pancake mix that is devoid of sugar, high in fiber and even higher in protein! There are an amazing 16 grams of protein jammed into each serving of pancakes.  An average person needs 46-56 grams of protein a day, so what a super way to get a protein boost – especially for vegetarians!

Here’s the breakdown comparison between a Mainstream Brand Pancake Mix & Paka Baking Pancake Mix:

Per Serving of Pancakes:

Per Serving Regular Pancake Mix Paka Baking Mix
Sugar 6g 0g
Fiber 1g 11g
Protein 5g 16g

 

The Paka Baking Pancakes are quick and easy to make. Simply take 1 cup of mix and stir in 1/2 cup of water and 1 egg. Heat griddle to 350 degrees and cook up a stack of tasty nutrient rich pancakes! These protein rich pancakes come out light and fluffy and have a subtle coconut flavor which pairs amazingly well with fruit. I do love to add a little pure maple syrup and fresh fruit, so it’s great that this pancake mix starts out so low in sugar.

I’m always looking for ways to add additional fiber to my family’s diet, so what a bonus to have 11 grams of fiber per serving!
