Power Cakes Waffle Recipe
Yes, waffles! But more specifically, Kodiak Cakes. We love Kodiak Cakes because they carry Power Cakes: Whole grain pancake mix loaded with 14 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber--that's really good. But did you also know this company is homegrown right here in Utah? MAJ SCORE.
Who doesn't love waffles? They're a laid-back Sunday morning kinda food. Kodiak Cakes are big part of our diet in the winter for the GAINS. If you’re not a gym rat, gaining is a period of time when weight lifters focus on building more mass by eating extra calories and lifting heavier weights. Having a whole-grain carbohydrate source provides sustained energy for lengthy or strenuous workouts such as max lifts.
Whether you're eating waffles for the gains or because they're generally delicious, do me a favor and throw this phrase out the window:just add water. Sure, you can just add water, but life is so much more exciting than that. You can add spices, you can add flavor, you can add texture, you can even add extra protein… so please, don’t just add water anymore.
Kodiak Protein Waffles With Peanut Butter Syrup
Here's my favorite recipe to amp up Kodiak Cakes. None of these substitutions are essential so don't sweat if you don't have all of them on-hand. Instead, try adding what you do have and adjusting the flavors to your liking.
What I love about these substitutions is that they add tremendous flavor without much (if any) added sugar. Cinnamon, pumpkin spice, and vanilla extract are nearly calorie-free and a little goes a long way. Unsweetened almond milk will run you 3-5 grams of added sugar, but it's absolutely worth it.
We meal prep Kodiak Cakes all winter long. You have a couple options: you can store the batter inside your fridge and plop some onto a hot waffle iron each morning. OR, how we prep them is by making 6-8 waffles, allowing them to cool, then transferring each to a plastic bag and stacking them in the freezer.
Savory Bacon And Cheese Waffles
In the morning, we grab a frozen waffle and pop it in the toaster before work. It’s so easy to batch prep these once and enjoy them throughout the week (or even month!)
Waffles can also be frozen and stored for meal prep! Let them cool down before transferring individual waffles into plastic bags. Stack waffles the freezer and enjoy for up to 2 months. When you're ready to eat, pop one in the toaster oven for about a minute.Learn how to make Kodiak protein waffles with this easy recipe! You'll love how fast my Kodiak Cake waffles whip up. These fluffy Belgian waffles are the perfect breakfast for a lazy Sunday morning. Drizzled with homemade mixed berry syrup and topped with whipped cream, this one's truly a treat. Your family will never guess that the Kodiak waffle mix has a secret ingredient…
Someone on my email list asked me to cover the Kodiak Cakes Power Cakes mixes. Your wish is my command! I will happily take this assignment of waffle making and evaluation. Lol
Kodiak Cakes Plant Based Pancake & Waffle Mix Review
One thing to know about the Kodiak Cakes mixes is that they all contain added sugar. Some of the products, such as the Kodiak muffin mixes, contain a lot of added sugar. Cane sugar is the second ingredient in these mixes.
Other Kodiak Cakes items contain far less added sugar. The Kodiak Cakes Buttermilk Power Cakes mix appears to be one of the best options, with only 2 grams of added sugar per serving. That's the mix I've chosen to use in this recipe.
The other thing to know about the Kodiak Cakes mixes is that they all contain a secret ingredient, protein powder! If you've been reading a while, you know I'm not a fan of protein powder. I find it tends to have a chalky, icky taste that isn't easily hidden in foods.
In The Kitchen # Protein Packed Kodiak Cakes Waffles
To be honest, I typically avoid protein powders and stick to getting my protein from delicious whole food sources. So, what is my honest review of this waffle mix with protein powder?
Believe it or not, I thought it was really tasty. It's hard to believe they managed to pack a bunch of protein powder in there. It's pretty amazing.
It's pretty easy to whip up a batch of homemade waffles or pancakes from scratch. They're delicious, they're a crowd-pleaser, so why in the world use a mix?
Classic Plant Based Waffles Mix
I prefer to make homemade waffle batter. It allows me to fully control the ingredients, including skipping the added sugar. However, I can see the benefits of choosing to make Kodiak Cakes waffles instead.
The various Kodiak Cakes pancake and waffle mixes all have different nutritional profiles. Here's some nutrition information for their buttermilk waffle mix:
My favorite frozen mixed berries to use in this recipe is a frozen triple berry blend. This is a mix of blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries. You can also use an individual package of frozen blueberries, frozen blackberries, or frozen raspberries instead.

Strawberries are my least favorite berry to use in this berry syrup recipe because I find they don't mash as easily. Frozen wild blueberries are really nice because they are small and need little mashing.
You'll also need a few pieces of kitchen equipment to make this recipe. The first is a Belgian waffle maker. Belgian waffles often have larger, deeper squares than American waffles, better for holding your delicious mixed berry syrup!
It's not too difficult to find a reasonably priced Belgian waffle maker that gets good reviews online. If you really can't spring for the extra kitchen equipment right now, you can use this waffle batter to make pancakes instead. It's going to be delicious either way.

The other piece of (mildly unusual) equipment that might be helpful is a potato masher. You can use the masher to do a rough mash of your berries for your berry syrup. A fork can be used in place of the masher, but it will take a bit longer to mash the berries.
This recipe is pretty close to the Kodiak waffles recipe on the box. I found that the box recipe waffle batter was thin, so I've fiddled with the liquid to mix ratio a bit.
You can use water or milk with the Kodiak Cakes waffle mix. You can also choose whether to add eggs or not. I chose to include both milk and eggs for additional protein (as well as more essential vitamins and minerals).
Kodiak Cakes: Pancakes (and Waffles) That Pack In The Protein
Measure your Kodiak Cake mix into a medium sized bowl. Add the milk, eggs, and oil. Stir it up into a fairly uniform mixture (some small lumps in the batter are fine).
Plug in your Belgian waffle maker and let it heat up. If you don't preheat your waffle maker before pouring in the batter, your first waffle will become overly dry. Spritz both sides of the heated waffle maker with cooking oil spray.
Pour the right amount of batter into the waffle maker. My waffle maker uses ½ cup of batter per waffle. Shut the waffle maker and let your waffle cook.

When your waffle has finished cooking, spray the waffle maker with more cooking spray and make your next waffle. My waffle maker has a light that goes off when the waffle is done cooking.
You'll have a few minutes to spare while each waffle cooks. You can use that time to make the mixed berry syrup, if you wish.
A few years ago, I made some special stuffed orange waffles with mixed berry syrup for a holiday breakfast. The berry maple syrup was so delicious and easy, I continue to make it just about any time I have pancakes or waffles. It's a great way to use frozen fruit and gives a little bump to your fruit intake too!

Another advantage of adding berries to your maple syrup is that you're increasing the amount of syrup per waffle without increasing the added sugar. Berries are also far lower in calories by volume than maple syrup.
To make the syrup, put your frozen berries in a small saucepan over medium heat and add the maple syrup. If you're using a sugar free maple syrup, you may want to heat and mash the berries first, then add the syrup. Some sugar free syrups react strangely to being heated.
Keep the berries over the heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently. They will thaw and become quite mushy. Remove them from the heat and mash them with a potato masher or a fork.
Protein Packed Waffles
You can make the mixed berry syrup as smooth as you like by mashing the berries more thoroughly. I like my syrup to have some texture, so I don't mash the berries extremely well.
When your waffles have finished cooking, plate them and top them with the berry syrup, whipped cream, and fresh fruit. I bet you'll find it hard to believe there's hidden protein powder in the waffles!
This recipe makes six waffles, or 3-6 servings, depending on your household members' appetite. Put leftover waffles in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap. Don't top your uneaten leftover waffles until after they've been reheated.
