It’s that time again meal peppers! It’s Monday and this week I’m showcasing some awesome [protein] pancake meal prep. If you’ve never prepped pancakes before, you’re definitely missing out! Just add whatever mix-ins you like, fire up the griddle, and get to flippin.
I used berries, chocolate chips, and banana/pecans as my mix-ins but you could use whatever you love in pancakes. The ones pictured here all lasted five days in the refrigerator, but the blueberry and chocolate chip ones lasted even longer. You can see that for my strawberry and banana/pecan ones I just did big slices of fruit and dropped them on top of the already cooking pancake – which is totally fine and really easy, BUT if you want them to last longer I’d recommend cutting the fruit up into chunks and mixing it into the batter for each.
Whenever you’re ready to eat these in the morning, just pop them into the toaster on low to heat them up. Of course you can use the microwave but you won’t get that same toasty effect. You can also store these in the freezer – just line them up on a parchment lined sheet pan and pop them in the freezer until they’re solid. After that, put them in a bag or resealable container for storage…by pre-freezing them you’ll make sure they don’t end up all stuck to each other.
I made these using the protein pancake recipe from my Pancake Breakfast Sandwich Griddler. You could use that or another one of my protein pancake recipes as a base OR you could go with a pre-made protein pancake mix…luckily I’ve taste tested and reviewed the top brands on the market for you. Check out my recommendations here.
