Cinnamon Protein Pancakes

I created this easy and delicious recipe because I wasn't eating enough protein and I wanted something I could eat for breakfast that would fill me up for a while.

1 package of pancake mix

1 large egg

1 cup of milk

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 tablespoons cinnamon

1 scoop of vanilla protein powder

Bowl

Large spoon

Nonstick cooking spray

Frying pan

Spatula

Combine 1 package of pancake mix, 1 large egg, 1 cup of milk, 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, 2 tablespoons of cinnamon, and 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder into a bowl.

Mix your ingredients together with a large spoon until little to no clumps are visible.

Preheat stove burner on low-medium heat for 5-10 minutes so that pancakes will cook evenly.

Place frying pan on stove burner, spray pan with nonstick cooking spray to prevent batter from sticking (or you can use butter if you prefer) and pour batter into pan to your desired size.

Let batter cook for 3 - 4 minutes, or until golden brown, before flipping to other side.

Flip the pancake over after 3 - 4 minutes and let it cook for 2 - 3 minutes or until golden brown.

Repeat steps 5 - 7 until all pancake batter has been cooked. Number of pancakes varies depending on size of pancakes made.

Once you've finished cooking your pancakes, plate them and top them with whatever you like! (I used powdered sugar and maple syrup in the picture)
