Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of Bisquick or pancake mix with 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder. Stir in 3/4 cup of skim milk and 1 teaspoon of maple extract until you achieve a smooth batter, free of lumps.
  2. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray. Pour about 2 tablespoons of the batter for each pancake bun into the skillet. Cook for 60 to 90 seconds on one side or until golden brown, then flip and cook an additional 60 to 90 seconds on the other side.
  3. In a bowl, whisk 4 large eggs until frothy. Heat a separate nonstick skillet over medium heat and pour in the eggs, swirling the pan to spread them evenly. As the edges begin to set, gently fold the eggs into rectangular shapes. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until fully cooked, then remove from heat.
  4. To assemble your Healthy Homemade McGriddles, take one pancake bun and layer it with the folded eggs. Add your choice of protein, such as turkey bacon or sausage, then place another pancake bun on top to create a sandwich.
