I am working on increasing my protein intake throughout my whole day, but especially right away in the morning so I can start my day out strong and energized. So I am always looking for new high protein breakfast ideas! I decided to take one of my all time favorite breakfasts from McDonalds and make it into a healthier m and protein packed version instead! Between the protein pancake mix, the egg, the egg whites, and the bacon, these homemade McGriddles are loaded with a little over 20 grams of protein each. There are a lot of different protein pancake mixes out there so use whatever you like best, but I like to use the Kodiak brand!

- 3 Tbsp egg whites
- 1 slice of bacon
- 1 slice of cheese

Instructions

- When both sides are golden brown, remove from heat.
- Grease one of the circle molds again and turn heat to low.
- Add the egg and egg whites and season with salt and pepper.
- Cook until sides are firm.
- Remove the ring, flip, and add cheese.
