The [protein pancake mix](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ojaswe-pancake-mix) is prepared with a base of whole wheat flour, whole grain oat flour, whey protein concentrate and buttermilk powder. While some protein pancake recipes can have a chalky, powdery taste from the addition of protein powder, these ones promise to be light and fluffy yet satisfying. Preparing the Buttermilk Protein Pancake Mix by Trader Joe's is as easy as it can be, as it calls for equal parts water and the baking mix to be combined. Optionally, canola oil can be added to the recipe to create a different treat with a [waffle iron](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strawberries-crme-pancake-waffle-mix). These nourishing breakfast pancakes are packed with 10 grams of protein per serving, which amounts to two pancakes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 30% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Protein-packed Pancakes:** Opportunity for food companies to develop protein-packed alternatives for traditional breakfast foods. - **Convenient Breakfast Mixes:** Opportunity for companies to innovate and create convenient breakfast mixes that are easy to prepare. - **Plant-based Protein Options:** Opportunity for food companies to explore plant-based protein alternatives in pancake mixes. ### Where This Applies - **Food and Beverage:** Companies in the food and beverage industry can capitalize on the demand for protein-packed breakfast options. - **Convenience Products:** Opportunity for companies in the convenience product industry to develop easy-to-make pancake mixes for busy individuals. - **Plant-based Foods:** Plant-based food companies can seize the opportunity to create plant-based protein pancake mixes to cater to a growing consumer trend. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ready-to-Eat Protein Pancakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mprotein-protein-pancakes.md) - [Protein Pancake Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swolecakes.md) - [Protein-Rich Frozen Waffles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/premier-protein-frozen-pancakes.md) - [Fruity Protein Pancakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-protein-pancakes.md) - [Crispy Protein Waffles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eggo-protein-waffles.md) - [Frozen Protein-Rich Pancakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frozen-protein-pancakes.md) - [Potato-Based Pancake Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/potato-protein-pancake-mix.md) - [Squeezable Plant Protein Pancakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/just-power-jacks.md) - [Snacking-Friendly Protein Pancakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/high-protein-pancakes.md)
