02 - 1 large egg
03 - 46 g liquid egg whites
04 - 28 g light canola butter

# How to Make It:

01 - Remove cream cheese, egg, and egg whites from refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature to ensure smooth mixing.
02 - Set oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
03 - In a mixing bowl, cream together fat free cream cheese, whole egg, egg whites, vanilla extract, and softened canola butter until smooth.
04 - Add pancake mix, vanilla protein powder, and baking powder to the wet mixture. Mix gently until fully combined.
05 - Pour in sweetener of choice. If using liquid sweetener like skinned syrup, it provides adequate moisture; if using powdered sweetener, consider adding a splash of almond milk to maintain batter consistency.
06 - Gently fold fresh blueberries into the batter to avoid crushing.
07 - Divide batter evenly into a parchment-lined muffin pan, filling approximately 9 portions.
08 - Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
