Thanks for joining Sarah and me for Meatless Monday today. Hope everyone had a fantastic fun and family filled Thanksgiving. I have an easy and oh so delish holiday breakfast idea for you. These Protein Packed Cinnamon Rum Raisin Pancakes are perfect for a house full of guests or just keep them all for yourself.
Protein Packed Cinnamon Rum Raisin Pancakes
I was looking for an easy way to up my pancake game this week and I found it. While these sound like they might be super indulgent, they actually are not. Let me explain. Just start with your favorite pancake mix . I like Kodiak cakes. Then add in a scoop of your go to vanilla or unflavored protein powder. I also use milk instead of water and add an egg for extra protein.
To make these pancakes even more tasty, I added a splash of rum extract. You could also use actual rum if you’d like. Hey it’s your breakfast right? A little cinnamon adds to the mix. Prepare them as you would normally cook your pancakes. Throw on some raisins and another sprinkle of cinnamon and serve with your favorite syrup.
With no added refined sugar and a nice serving of protein, these Cinnamon Rum Raisin Pancakes are perfect for any day. Additionally, with the holidays coming up, it’s nice to have some quick and easy breakfast and brunch options. They will be a crowd pleaser! Happy eating.

What a straightforward and delicious breakfast idea! It will definitely get us out of our flaxseed and berries routine.
Thanks hope you all enjoy!
You totally had me at Pancakes 🙂 I might make these for dinner tonight (the hubby is out of town LOL). I didn’t realize you could substitute milk for water in pancake mixes…duh! (#facepalm)
Oh yes you can sub milk and it’s a nice way to get a protein boost. 🙂
I’m pretty certain that ALL breakfast foods should contain cinnamon, haha! It truly is one of my favorites! This recipe looks great, and not overly involved, perfect for a warm winter breakfast!
Super easy to whip up on any day of the week
You really did have me at rum raisin lol 🙂
OH good that was the plan 🙂
I think I’ll be making some pancakes soon! These look yummy!
Thanks I can confirm they are yummy
This sounds so good and an easy prep ahead breakfast. I don’t think I knew rum extract existed but I’ll have to be on the lookout next time I’m at a big grocery store.
Yes you will find it right in the spice aisle. You can also use regular rum if you are feeling saucy 🙂
Yum! I’m coming to your house for breakfast! :p
You know you have an open invite anytime!
Yum, I love pancakes and these look amazing! What a creative idea! I’ll have to wait a bit before I can indulge in rum, but man this looks so tasty 🙂
We are all about pancakes lately! Loving this seasonal twist, they would have been perfect for this past weekend when we were “snowed in” up north. Can’t wait to try them, my dad would especially love these as he’s a fan of rum raisin everything.
These sound amazing! I love pancakes! I should make them more often but I don’t have the patience.
These are quick and easy!
Yeah. The boys are going to have to make me these.
I’ve never been a huge breakfast person, but I do love homemade cinnamon rolls with cream cheese icing, sausage balls, and egg casserole. With a poinsettia of course.
Of course!
Well, you had me at rum. These sound amazing and since everyone is of age, I may just be serving these on Christmas morning!
Sounds like a fantastic plan to me!
What a yummy breakfast! I need some pancakes in my life and want to give these a try!
WE all need pancakes in our life!
Yum, pancakes are my favorite! I actually just made them as a breakfast for dinner thing last night. I always add lots of cinnamon and 1/2 serving of vanilla protein to my pancake batter to give it some extra oomph and protein.
Yup that’s the way to go!
Yum, these look so delicious! I am always looking to add a little extra protein to my diet too!!!
