Why You’ll Love These Protein Pancake Muffins

These muffins check all the boxes. They’re quick to make, easy to customize, and feel indulgent without going off the rails. Using a protein pancake mix keeps the ingredient list short while boosting staying power, and baking them into muffins makes them grab-and-go friendly.

Bonus: you can keep them classic chocolate chip, add cinnamon for cozy vibes, or toss in nuts for a little crunch.

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 1 ½ cups PEScience Protein Pancake and Waffle Mix (code HEALTHYHELPER saves $$!)
  • ¾ cup water (adjust for batter consistency)
  • ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk (optional, for extra creaminess)
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips (use sugar-free for no added sugar)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional: cinnamon or chopped nuts

How to Make Chocolate Chip Pancake Muffins

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with liners or lightly grease it.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the protein pancake mix, water, almond milk (if using), and vanilla extract until smooth. The batter should be thick but scoopable, so add a splash more water if needed.
  3. Gently fold in the chocolate chips, saving a few to sprinkle on top.
  4. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  5. Bake for 15–18 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

  2. I love banana chocolate chip muffins, and I totally love browsing Whole Foods, but I don’t usually buy a ton there, because they’re kind of pricy. I do like getting a few treat items though.
