Two Easy Ways to Customize Your Protein Pancake Mix

One of the things we hear most often about our pancake mix is how easy it is to customize.

It’s designed to be simple — just add water — but with a few small tweaks, you can turn it into something completely different depending on your needs. Whether you’re feeding your family, fueling workouts, or just want more variety, these options let one mix do more.

Below are two simple ways to alter your protein pancake mix using ingredients you likely already have at home.

Option 1: Use Your Pancake Mix as a Waffle Mix 🧇

Yes — our pancake mix works as waffles too.

With a small adjustment to the batter, you can make waffles that have:

• Crispy edges

• A soft, satisfying center

• The same high-protein, plant-forward base

This works especially well with the chocolate pancake mix, but all flavors can be adapted.

To make waffles, the batter needs:

• Slightly more water

• A little fat (oil or similar)

• A short rest time before cooking

The result is a waffle that holds toppings well, reheats nicely, and works great for weekend breakfasts or meal prep.

Option 2: High-Protein Pancakes with Egg and Milk 🥞

One of our customers (and friends), Ellen, experimented with the mix and found another great option.

Instead of water, she used:

• 1 egg

• Milk in place of water

This version creates a slightly richer pancake with an even higher protein content, thanks to the added egg and milk. The texture is fluffy and filling — ideal for people with higher calorie or protein needs.

This option is not vegan, but that flexibility is intentional. Our mix is meant to meet you where you are, whether you prefer plant-based or want to add animal-based ingredients for extra fuel.

Even without photos, this method is simple, reliable, and easy to replicate at home.

Why We Love Offering Options

The goal of Lean Plant Co has always been real food that fits real life.

You don’t need multiple products or complicated recipes. With one protein pancake mix, you can:

• Make classic pancakes with water

• Turn it into waffles

• Boost protein with egg and milk

• Adjust toppings based on taste or nutrition needs

There’s no “right” way — just what works best for you and your household.
