Protein-packed pancake mix hits market

Pancake mix, a staple in many pantries, has been remade into a healthier, better-for-you product with FlapJacked.

While there's been growth in whole-wheat and gluten-free options, there was a lack of a simple just add water mix that had more nutrition value.

FlapJacked offers a wheat-free, fiber-rich and protein-packed pancake mix that its makers say looks, feels and tastes just like the real thing.

Food ingredients are all natural and non-GMO. High quality whey protein isolate is a mix of oat, quinoa and coconut flours, sweetened with real fruit.

FlapJacked has been sold in Canada through supplement stores for almost six months. It has recently been picked up by Bulk Barn. FlapJacked retails between $10.99-$12.99.
