Healthy Homemade McDonald’s McGriddles Recipe

Introduction

These Healthy Homemade McDonald’s McGriddles offer a delicious twist on the classic breakfast sandwich, combining fluffy protein-packed pancakes with folded eggs. They’re perfect for a quick, satisfying morning meal that feels indulgent but fuels your day.

Ingredients

• 1 cup (120g) Bisquick or pancake mix*
• 1 scoop (31g) vanilla PEScience Select protein powder
• 3/4 cup (180g) skim milk or your choice of milk
• 1 tsp maple extract (optional)
• 4 large eggs, whisked

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine the pancake mix and protein powder. Add the milk and maple extract, then stir until there are no dry ingredients left.
2. Step 2: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Pour 2 tablespoons of pancake batter into eight small circles (you may need two batches). Cook until golden brown on the bottom, then flip and cook for another 60–90 seconds.
3. Step 3: For the eggs, whisk one egg in a small bowl. Heat a pan over medium-low heat with cooking spray. Pour in the egg and swirl to spread evenly. When the edges set (about 10–15 seconds), fold one half into the center, then fold the other half over it to form a rectangle. Fold each end of the rectangle toward the center, creating a square shape. Repeat with all eggs. Cooking two eggs at a time and cutting them in half can save time.
4. Step 4: Assemble your McGriddles by sandwiching the folded eggs between two protein pancakes. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

• Swap vanilla protein powder for unflavored or your favorite flavor to customize taste.
• Use whole milk or a dairy-free alternative for creamier pancakes.
• Add cooked bacon or sausage for a heartier sandwich.
• If you don’t have maple extract, a drizzle of real maple syrup works well.

Storage

Store leftover pancakes and eggs separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat pancakes in a toaster or microwave and eggs in a skillet over low heat. Avoid reheating assembled sandwiches to maintain texture.

FAQs

Can I make these ahead of time?

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

For the Pancakes

• 1 cup (120g) Bisquick or Pancake Mix
• 1 scoop (31g) Vanilla PEScience Select Protein Powder
• 3/4 cup (180g) Skim Milk or your choice of milk
• 1 tsp Maple Extract (optional)
• Cooking spray, for greasing

For the Eggs

• 4 large Eggs, whisked
• Cooking spray, for greasing

Instructions

1. Prepare the pancake batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the Bisquick or pancake mix with the vanilla protein powder. Stir well before gradually adding the milk and maple extract. Mix until you have a smooth batter with no dry lumps.
2. Cook the mini pancakes: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray. Pour approximately 2 tablespoons of batter per pancake onto the hot surface, forming 8 small circles. You may need to cook them in batches. Cook until the bottoms are golden brown, then flip and cook the other side for an additional 60 to 90 seconds. Remove pancakes and set aside.
3. Cook the folded eggs: Whisk a single egg in a small bowl. Heat a pan over medium-low heat and spray with cooking spray. Pour in the whisked egg, swirling the pan to create an even layer. Once the edges start to cook, about 10 to 15 seconds, use a rubber spatula to fold one half of the egg toward the center, then fold the other half over it to create a rectangle. Fold the ends into the center to form a neat square shape. Repeat with the remaining eggs. To save time, cook two eggs simultaneously and slice them in half.
4. Assemble your McGriddles: Place one mini pancake on a plate, top with a folded egg square, and cover with another mini pancake to create a sandwich. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade healthy McGriddles.

Notes

• You can substitute the protein powder with your favorite flavor or omit it if desired.
• Maple extract adds sweetness and flavor but can be skipped or replaced with a natural sweetener.
• Feel free to use a non-dairy milk substitute like almond or oat milk to suit dietary preferences.
• Cooking spray helps prevent sticking and allows for easy flipping of the pancakes and eggs.
• These McGriddles can be customized by adding cheese, bacon, or other toppings to taste.
