Ingredients


  • Protein pancake mix (Trader Joe’s zero sugar protein mix, enough for 6–8 pancakes as per package instructions)

  • Eggs, milk, or water (as directed on the pancake mix box)

  • Optional add-ins (if allowed by the mix):

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- 1–2 tablespoons melted butter or oil (helps keep pancakes fluffy)


Toppings (choose your favorites)


  • Blueberries

  • Sliced strawberries

  • Sliced bananas

  • Chocolate chips


How to Make Sheet Pan Protein Pancakes


  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. If your oven runs hot, 350°F works well too.

    • Section 1: Blueberries

    • Section 2: Sliced strawberries

    • Section 3: Sliced bananas

    • Section 4: Chocolate chips

  2. Prepare your pan by lining a 9×13 inch sheet pan or a quarter sheet pan with parchment paper, or spray it generously with non-stick spray.

  3. Make the batter by mixing the protein pancake mix with eggs, milk, or water according to the package directions. Stir just until combined to avoid overmixing.

  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and use a spatula to spread it evenly.

  5. Divide the batter into four sections by lightly scoring lines with the spatula. Do not cut all the way through.

  6. Add toppings to each section:

  7. Bake for 15–20 minutes until the center is set, the edges are lightly golden, and a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.

  8. Cool and slice the pancakes along the scored lines after letting them cool for 5 minutes.


Tips for Best Results


  • Toss fruit lightly in flour or pancake mix before adding to the batter to prevent sinking.

  • For melty chocolate chips on top, add them after the pancakes have baked for 5 minutes.

  • Boost protein even more by spreading Greek yogurt or nut butter on top after baking.
