FlapJacked Protein Pancake & Baking Mix, Buttermilk, 24 Ounce, 2 Pack

Delicious, high in protein, gluten-free. Love these pancakes. I also substitute Flap-Jacked for flour in recipes to make muffins, breads, and cookies that are higher in protein and lower in carbohydrates. The pancakes are filling and keep you full longer than regular pancakes. Note: I am surprised at the bad reviews. I make with 1/2 c. mix and 1/3 c. water or milk. Stir well. If too thick add more water/milk; if too thin, add more mix. Cook on med-low heat. I cook them in a pan with coconut oil or olive oil, or organic butter. I top with fresh or cooked frozen fruit and a little maple syrup. My family loves them. I was not paid for this review.

TASTE: These pancakes taste great. Some said they don't taste exactly like traditional pancake but they do taste good - I would agree with that statement! They have a heartier flavor and texture as you would expect when you replace bleached white flour with a whole grain - in this case oat flour. Sometimes they come out a little dry- but that is why the recipe for traditional pancakes calls for oil to be added....it makes the pancakes moist. So I add a teaspoon of coconut oil or sunflower oil and the pancakes taste moist as well. I top with banana slices and blackstrap molasses. INGREDIENTS: I think the ingredients reflect good attempt at healthy pancakes: whey protein and oat flour; baking powder to make them rise; not much else.

I'm trying to limit my gluten intake while simultaneously increasing my protein intake. Although not certified gluten free, I can tell it isn't filled with gluten because it doesn't make me feel tired and bloated after eating. Breakfast is hard for me because I don't crave eggs and bacon only breads and cereals but carbs don't do much for my body. I was excited to find this product that helps me accomplish both taste and body health. The buttermilk version doesn't have a lot of taste to it so I usually add cinnamon to the mix and sometimes fresh berries. Tastes just like a restaurant waffle though! I use a waffle maker brushed with a little coconut oil and the waffle never sticks! Plus when making it into a waffle, I can hide a little almond milk and and an egg in there! The mix is nice and smooth, you can't taste any of the protein powder at all! I find this better than eating a protein bar that is either hard to stomach from the texture or filled with necessary sugars. Their muffins look good as well but this mix is a lot more cost effective if you eat their product daily.

I wouldn’t call these “awful”, but I wouldn’t call them “amazing.” The flavor is good, which was surprising (so many protein-added foods taste funky, in my opinion). If anything, it has a nice sweetness (but not SWEET). The texture is the least desirable characteristic. I’ve made these twice, each time in accordance with the “+egg” instructions for a higher protein count. Quite dense and cake-y. You really have to douse the thing in a wet topping, and have a glass of something to drink. It isn’t prohibitively dense, though. I’m going to try a few different water ratios with the rest of the pack to see if I can come up with a better texture and will update this review if I come up with anything.

I think the taste of these is fine but the texture is really subpar. The pancakes are dry as hell and gritty, they also don't stick together very well and will crumble, has crumbled just putting cold butter on the hot pancake. I definitely add more water to the mix then they recommend (about 2 tbsp per serving) because it is just a dense lump if you don't. I also put blueberries in them to make it tolerable and add some moisture. You need it on a lower heat then you'd cook a normal pancake because it'll be raw in the middle if you don't. It seems to burn/brown easily. As a stand alone pancake it's really difficult to eat because it just absorbs all moisture. I've thrown away more than one because I just didn't want to eat it anymore. I use real maple syrup and it seems like I can't find a trace of it after I pour it on. I have made it with oil and butter (oil works better) I am open to trying to make it work with some tweeks but I am definitely going to try other brands or perhaps try and make my own mix to see if I can obtain better results. The concept is there - the execution is not.

I picked this up as a Prime Day deal. I am on Weight Watchers so am always looking for good point value foods. I have tried Kodiak Cakes and they are ok, but I miss the fluffiness of regular pancakes. This mix is 7 sp for 1/2 cup of mix and they are SO fluffy and tasty! I find that just 1/4 cup of mix is a decent breakfast. They are sweetened with stevia, of which I am not a fan, but there is just a hint of sweetness in these so I don't find it offensive at all. Overall I am really enjoying these pancakes and have added this FlapJacked mix to my subscribe and save items. I have not yet tried cookies with the mix but will soon. Great addition to my breakfast rotation!

Okay, read the title — I mean it. Most protein pancake mixes feel like eating chalk or sand… this one is still a bit grittier than regular pancakes but you can deal with minor texture inconvenience when you’re trying to reach your fitness goals. The macros are also great and significantly better than those of other brands.

So many reviews of this product say that these pancakes taste just like regular pancakes. All I have to say to that is that somebody has been eating gluten-free or high-protein too long to know what real pancakes are supposed to taste like. These do NOT taste like regular pancakes. They definitely have a different taste ... maybe a little more vanilla-y or something. And the texture is a bit different from regular pancakes; they are more dense. Having said that, however, my family likes these. I initially bought them for my teenager who never seems to want any protein in the mornings. So I thought maybe I could sneak some in with these pancakes. It worked, and now our whole family eats them. But I wouldn't just give these to someone and try to fool them into thinking they're Aunt Jemima because they're just not. Do be sure that you turn your stove down considerably when you make these compared to whatever temperature you use for regular pancakes. They cook much faster and will definitely get too brown very quickly if they're cooked on too high a temp. I usually cook regular pancakes on about an 8 on our stove, but these have to be cooked on about 5.
