A healthier twist on the classic McGriddles, this recipe combines protein-packed pancakes with fluffy folded eggs to create a delicious and nutritious breakfast sandwich. Perfect for a quick morning meal that balances flavor and health.

Ingredients

Scale

Pancake Batter

  • 1 cup (120g) Bisquick or Pancake Mix
  • 1 scoop (31g) Vanilla PEScience Select Protein Powder
  • 3/4 cup (180g) Skim Milk or your choice of milk
  • 1 teaspoon Maple Extract (optional)

Eggs

  • 4 large eggs, whisked
  • Cooking spray for the pan

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pancake Batter: Mix the pancake mix and protein powder together in a bowl. Add the milk and maple extract, then stir until no dry ingredients remain, forming a smooth batter.
  2. Cook Pancakes: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray. Pour 2 tablespoons of batter into 8 small circles on the skillet (you may need to cook in two batches). Cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 1-2 minutes, then carefully flip and cook for another 60-90 seconds until fully cooked.
  3. Prepare Eggs: Whisk each egg in a small bowl. Heat another pan over medium-low heat with cooking spray. Pour in one whisked egg and swirl the pan to evenly spread it. When the edges begin to cook (10-15 seconds), fold one half of the egg over the center, then fold the other half on top to create a rectangle. Fold one end of the rectangle into the center, then fold the other end over to form a square. Repeat this process for all four eggs. To save time, cook two eggs at once and cut them in half.
  4. Assemble the McGriddles: Place one folded egg square between two protein pancakes to create a sandwich. Repeat for remaining pancakes and eggs.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately for a warm, nutritious breakfast sandwich that satisfies both hunger and taste buds.

Notes

  • Using maple extract adds classic McGriddles flavor without added sugar.
  • You can substitute the protein powder with your favorite flavor or omit for lower protein content.
  • Cooking in batches ensures even cooking and prevents overcrowding the pan.
  • Folded eggs mimic the McGriddles-style egg texture and shape for easy sandwich assembly.
  • Skim milk reduces fat but you can use any milk or milk alternative to your preference.
