Ingredients
⅓ cup Birch Benders protein pancake mix (or Kodiak, etc.)
½ cup Fairlife Core Power vanilla protein drink (42g protein)
1 tsp ground flaxseed
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
Prep the mug: Lightly spray a large, microwave-safe mug with avocado oil spray. Wipe out excess to prevent a soggy bottom.
Mix it up: Add all ingredients to the mug and mix well. The texture should be like pancake batter. Add a splash of water if needed to thin it out.
Microwave: Heat on high for 1 minute. If it’s still too doughy, microwave for another 30–60 seconds until set.
Cool and serve: Use a knife to loosen the edges, transfer to a plate, and let it cool slightly. Slice in half and add your favorite toppings.
Topping Ideas
Nut butter + sliced dates (a dream combo)
Butter and sugar-free jam
A fried egg and hot sauce (savory twist!)
A drizzle of maple syrup
Greek yogurt and berries
