INGREDIENTS
Pancake Ingredients:
- Pancake mix
- Vanilla protein powder (I use Clean Simple Eats Simply Vanilla)
- Plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 2% milk
- Orange zest
- Orange juice
- Fresh cranberries
- Orange slices (optional for garnish)
Glaze Ingredients:
- Powdered sugar
- Orange juice
- Milk
- Vanilla protein powder
Substitution Ideas
Protein Powder:
- Use any vanilla whey or baking protein powder you prefer. If using plant-based protein, you may need a few extra tablespoons of milk to achieve the right batter consistency.
Pancake Mix:
- Any complete pancake mix will work. For extra fiber or a higher-protein option, try Kodiak Cakes or Birch Benders Protein Pancake Mix. I would suggest eliminating the protein powder if using a high protein pancake mix.
Greek Yogurt:
- Substitute with 2% or whole-milk Greek yogurt for a richer flavor, or dairy-free yogurt if needed.
Milk:
- Any milk works here — Fairlife 2% keeps the macros high in protein and low in sugar, but almond or oat milk can be used for dairy-free versions.
Cranberries:
- Use frozen cranberries (no need to thaw) or swap with blueberries, raspberries, or chopped strawberries for a different flavor twist.
Glaze:
- If you want a lighter option, skip the glaze entirely or drizzle with a few teaspoons of maple syrup instead. You can also use a sugar-free powdered sweetener.
Orange Zest & Juice:
- Lemon zest and juice make a great swap for a Lemon Blueberry Sheet Pan Pancake variation!

I was calculating the macros and I could not come up to the 42 grams of protein per serving. What am I missing?
Hi Fene, You’re right. I think the protein is a typo and it’s supposed to be 12g! I’m so sorry for the confusion. Thank you for saying something so I can get the nutrition info fixed! I’m going to update it all now.
We love this sheet pan recipe! They taste just like the Publix cranberry orange scones with protein for the win!
