Get a dose of protein with these protein bites made in mini muffin cups for a perfectly portioned breakfast. They are great for on-the-go munching and filled with three berry flavors for a pop of fruity flavor in every bite.
Everything is more fun in mini size, right? That's why these Berry Protein Pancake Bites not only make breakfast fun and delicious but nutritious and extra easy to prepare! Not only did I add a punch of protein to these pancakes, but they have very little sugar, thanks to the monk fruit sweetener.
If you're new to Meal Prep On Fleek, then you haven't seen or read about all the reasons why I love using the NOW Foods Organic Monk Fruit Sweetener. Let me give you a quick rundown! My favorite reason is that it contains no sucralose, aspartame, or other funky additives that give you an icky aftertaste in your mouth. It's also perfect for a keto, diabetic, vegan, gluten-free, etc., etc., etc., diet. 😉 If it's a diet you follow, then you can enjoy this sweetener!
So, now that I've convinced you to use the monk fruit sweetener in any recipe that calls for a dry sugar moving forward, we can proceed with our recipe! 😋
Pancakes are no longer just for weekends! These perfectly poppable little bites make eating on the go easy for both kids and adults alike. Plus, with the added protein, they are sure to sustain you until lunch!
I used gluten-free flour and whey protein powder. However, if desired, you can use regular AP flour, oat flour, etc., and sub the protein powder with additional flour. I haven't tested these with a vegan protein powder, but if you give it a try, let me know how it turns out!
To keep these low in sugar, the monk fruit sweetener is a must!
Make sure not to overmix your batter here! If they are overmixed, the protein pancake bites will get a little chewy/rubbery. Instead, you want to mix them just until everything is incorporated together. Then, gently fold in your berries!
One of the things I love to do when meal prepping is to make sure that the recipes are easy to customize. We all have different tastes, ingredients on hand, and budgets, so making recipes customizable makes a recipe a win for all of us. For example, I went with mixed berries, but you could use any berries or add in things like chocolate chips, nuts, bananas, shredded coconut, etc.
I wanted a bit more protein alongside my Berry Protein Pancake Bites, so I served these with cottage cheese and more fruit. You could leave the cottage cheese plain or sweetener with liquid monk fruit sweetener. Lately, the new caramel liquid monk fruit sweetener has been my go-to for everything!
Instead of the cottage cheese, you could serve these with scrambled eggs and sausages or yogurt and peanut butter or maple syrup for dipping!
