Hey everyone!
First of all, I hope everyone is staying healthy and sane in quarantine. I would like to briefly thank all the front line workers for their continuous hard work.
When at home all the time I know it is especially easy to gravitate towards comfort foods, and I don't know about you, but mine surely consists of pancakes and waffles. Which is exactly why I was eager to create the perfect balanced, easy, and healthy pancake and waffle recipe, inspired by Kodiak cakes protein-packed box mixes.
For this recipe, I kept it super simple using whole protein-packed foods that will keep you full and fueled, as any breakfast should. This recipe works for both waffles and pancakes, I switch it up from time to time, but here I did waffles. So here it is,
-Kodiak Inspired Waffle Recipe from Scratch-
Details:
Makes 4 Waffles (serves one person)
241 calories
2g fat
12g protein
7g fiber
Prep time: 10 mins
Ingredients:
Non-Stick Spray (I use Coconut Oil)
1/3 cup Oatmeal
1 Banana
1/2 cup Egg Whites
1 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 tsp Vanilla
1/2 tsp Baking Powder
Toppings:
1/2 cup favorite berries (fresh or frozen)
1 Tablespoon water
Sliced Banana
Zero Sugar Maple Syrup
Directions:
-Waffle/Pancake Mix-
First off get your skillet or waffle maker heated up and ready to go. Throw some cooking spray if needed.
In a small bowl mash your banana. Add the oatmeal and mix the two until combined. Add the egg whites, cinnamon, vanilla, and baking powder. Mix until incorporated, feel free to add more cinnamon for extra flavor. Once mixed take about 1/4 cup of mixture and place onto heated skillet or waffle maker.
Cook until desired, if making pancakes flip once the side gets bubbly (may take a bit longer then regular pancakes and be a bit trickier to flip).
For my berry sauce, it is super simple, in a small pot add your favorite berries and water. Heat over medium heat until it starts to bubble. Add as much maple syrup to desired sweetness ( I added about 1 teaspoon).
Then once your waffles or pancakes are ready, top with banana slices, berry syrup mixture, and enjoy!
Now get after your day, you got this!
