How to Make High Protein Meal Prep Pancake Bowls
Making these pancake bowls is as easy as gathering your ingredients and baking them. You’ll start by preheating your oven and preparing your glass bowls. Then, mix together the Kodiak pancake mix, liquid egg whites, Greek yogurt, and a splash of milk to create a smooth batter. Fold in the frozen berries for added flavor and nutrition before pouring the mixture into your prepared bowls. Once they’re baked to that perfect golden brown, finish them off with fresh berries and a drizzle of maple syrup. You’ll have delicious pancakes ready to go!
Ingredients
To create these High Protein Meal Prep Pancake Bowls, gather the following items:
- 2 cups Kodiak pancake mix
- 1 cup liquid egg whites
- 3/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1.5 cups frozen berries
- Maple syrup (for drizzling)
- Fresh berries (for topping)
Feel free to swap in your favorite protein pancake mix or use other kinds of yogurt if needed. You can also replace frozen berries with fresh ones if that’s what you have on hand.
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly spray four 2-cup glass bowls with cooking spray and arrange them on a large baking sheet.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the Kodiak pancake mix, liquid egg whites, Greek yogurt, and milk. Whisk until smooth.
- Gently fold in the frozen berries until evenly distributed.
- Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared bowls and transfer them to the oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.
- Top with fresh berries and maple syrup, allow to cool, then store in the fridge.
How to Serve High Protein Meal Prep Pancake Bowls
These pancake bowls are incredibly versatile. You can enjoy them warm, straight out of the oven, or refrigerate them and reheat for a quick breakfast option during the week. Pair them with a dollop of nut butter or a sprinkle of nuts for added crunch. They also make a great brunch dish, so feel free to serve them at gatherings or family get-togethers. Kids love them, and they can get creative with toppings, turning breakfast into a fun activity.
How to Store
To keep your High Protein Meal Prep Pancake Bowls fresh, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They will last for up to five days, so they’re perfect for meal prep. If you want to freeze them, you can do that as well! Wrap each bowl individually and store them in the freezer for up to three months. Simply reheat in the microwave or oven when you’re ready to enjoy.
Tips to Make
One important tip to keep in mind is not to overmix the batter. Gently folding the ingredients helps preserve fluffiness. If you prefer a less sweet pancake, adjust the amount of maple syrup you drizzle on top. Adding spices like cinnamon or nutmeg to the mix can also elevate the flavor profile. Finally, feel free to experiment with different toppings, like nuts or chocolate chips, to make each bowl unique.
Variations
These pancake bowls can easily be tailored to suit various tastes and dietary needs. Consider trying a banana flavor by incorporating mashed ripe bananas into the batter. For a tropical twist, add coconut flakes and serve with pineapple chunks on top. If you’re looking to boost the protein content further, include nut butter into the mix or as a topping. The options are endless!
