In a large bowl, mix flour, protein powder, sweetener, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.

Add milk mixture to the flour mixture, and stir until uniform. Transfer to the baking sheet, and smooth out the surface.

HG Storage Tips: These will stay fresh in the fridge for about a week. To freeze, tightly wrap each fully cooled serving in foil or plastic wrap. Then place in a sealable container or bag, seal, and freeze. To thaw, unwrap a serving, and place on a microwave-safe plate. Cover with a paper towel, and microwave for 1 1/2 minutes, or until your desired temperature is reached.
