Method
 

  1. Whisk strawberry cake mix and protein powder together.
  2. Add the egg and liquid, stirring until a thick but pourable batter forms.
  3. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
  4. Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake and cook for 2-3 minutes per side.
  5. Serve warm with fresh berries or sugar-free syrup.

Notes

Cook on medium-low heat to prevent the cake-mix sugars from burning. For the best texture, use a Whey/Casein protein blend like PE Science. If the batter is too thick, add liquid 1 tablespoon at a time until pourable.
