Strawberry Chocolate Chip Protein Pancake Bites

I’ve never been a person who liked sweet breakfast foods.

Cereal, waffles, pancakes, French toast— all of those things are sub-standard to me. I will gladly choose a breakfast burrito or bacon and eggs above a plate of pancakes anyday.

I make sweet breakfasts for my husband all the time. He enjoys eating oatmeal before work, so I like making overnight oats that are sweetened up with fruit. I’ll sneak a few tastes every now and then, but I typically stick to my savory breakfasts.

I tried these pancake bites out after finding a recipe on Pinterest. They looked so cute and easily poppable, so my husband could eat them on the go. I loved the way they turned out, and if I liked sweet breakfasts more, I’d eat them again!

This was my first time using protein pancake batter and it turned out really well. The Kodiak cakes brand is the one I chose, but I’ve seen the Krusteaz variety works well, too.

You can only slightly tell a difference between regular pancake mix and protein pancake mix. The protein mix is a bit thicker (probably because of the added protein) but other than that, it tastes remarkably similar. Once you mix in a bunch of strawberries and top with syrup, you can hardly tell a difference.

Enjoy!
