Step 1

Add your cake mix and protein powder to a large bowl and give it a quick mix to fully combine them.

Step 2

Add the diet soda while mixing the batter. Mine needed exactly 1/2 cup plus 2 extra tablespoons, but the exact amount will depend on the absorbency of your cake mix and protein powder. We want a somewhat thick, but still pourable batter.

Step 3

Set the batter aside and heat your pan or skillet over medium heat for a few minutes.

Step 4

Spray your pan with nonstick spray and use a spoon to add the batter to your pan. I was able to fit 3 pancakes at a time, each requiring 2 spoonfuls of batter.

Step 5

Let cook for about 1.5 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1-1.5 minutes on the other side. Adjust the time based on how light or dark you like your pancakes!

Step 6

Repeat until all your batter is used.
