Copycat Kodiak Pancake Mix

What kid doesn't love pancakes

or waffles for breakfast!? Better yet- banana chocolate chip ones! I love the convenience of the Kodiak protein mix yet it is way cheaper to make on my own with ingredients I already have on hand! I make a double batch of these to use throughout the weeks.

For the dry mix:

1 cup rolled oats- ground into flour form

1 1/2 cups organic white unbleached flour

1 cup vanilla protein powder (@dotfit plant protein)

41/2 tsp buttermilk powder

1 tbsp brown sugar

1 tbsp baking powder

1/2 tsp pink Himalayan sea salt

Mix all well and store in airtight container.

To make pancakes/waffles:

Smash up banana

Mix in 1 egg

Add 1 cup dry mixture

1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)

Add 3/4 cup buttermilk, milk, or water  (Buttermilk is our favorite)

Chop up 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips to add in batter

Directions:

• Spray waffle pan/flat grill

• Add batter

• Cook 3-4 minutes for waffles. For pancakes cook on medium-low until batter starts to get little holes throughout. Flip and cook another couple minutes until cooked throughout.

For a fun seasonal twist, switch out banana with 1/2 cup of fruit/veggie. Some examples could be applesauce, pumpkin, butternut squash, or sweet potato.
