How to make Kodiak Waffle
Kodiak Waffles are a type of waffle mix made by Kodiak Cakes, a company known for their high-protein pancake and waffle mixes. These mixes are famous for their emphasis on whole grains and protein-packed ingredients, making them a healthier alternative to traditional pancake and waffle mixes.
The base of Kodiak Waffle mix typically includes whole grain wheat flour and protein sources like whey protein concentrate. Adding protein makes these waffles more substantial and satisfying, particularly for those looking to boost their protein intake.
Ingredients
- 2 cups of Kodiak Cakes Power Cakes Whole Grain Buttermilk Flapjack and Waffle Mix
- 2 cups of water
- Two tablespoons of oil (canola, vegetable, or melted coconut)
- Two eggs
- Optional: a dash of vanilla extract for an extra layer of flavor
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix the Kodiak Cakes Mix, water, oil, and eggs. Stir until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth. If you’re adding vanilla extract, now is the time to mix it in.
- Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Often, a drop of water that sizzles and evaporates immediately means the waffle maker is ready.
- Pour your Kodiak batter into the preheated waffle maker, fill until approximately two-thirds full to allow the mixture to expand. Close the lid and wait for about 3-5 minutes.
- Once the waffles are golden brown and easily removable, use a rubber or silicone spatula to lift them out of the waffle maker gently. Repeat this process until all the batter is used.
- Serve your Kodiak Waffles fresh and warm. Add your favorite toppings such as fresh fruits, syrup, or a dollop of yogurt.
Tips for the Perfect Kodiak Waffles
- Do not overmix your batter: It is perfectly okay if it has lumpy bits. Overmixing may lead to rigid and dense waffles.
- Preheat and Grease your Waffle Maker Properly: This will ensure your waffles don’t stick and come out crispy on the outside.
- Be Patient: You must wait a few minutes before lifting the waffle maker lid for that perfect golden brown texture.
- Experiment with Toppings: The beauty of this Kodiak Waffle recipe lies in its versatility. It pairs wonderfully with sweet or savory toppings, so feel free to experiment!
Serving
Kodiak waffles are a fantastic choice for breakfast and any time you’re in the mood for something delicious. Here are some ideas on what to serve with Kodiak waffles:
- Fresh Fruits:Â Top your Kodiak waffles with a vibrant array of fresh fruits like strawberries, blueberries, bananas, or some sliced kiwi. The natural sweetness complements the hearty waffle flavor.
- Maple Syrup:Â A classic choice, maple syrup is a timeless waffle companion. The sweet and rich syrup pairs perfectly with the wholesome taste of Kodiak waffles.
- Whipped Cream:Â Take it up a notch with a dollop of whipped cream. It adds a light and airy texture to your waffles, creating a delightful contrast.
- Nut Butter:Â Spread some almond butter, peanut butter, or any nut butter of your choice on top of your waffles for a protein boost and a rich, nutty flavor.
- Yogurt:Â Greek yogurt or regular yogurt can be a great addition. It not only adds a creamy texture but also introduces a tangy element that balances the sweetness.
- Nuts and Seeds:Â Sprinkle chopped nuts (like almonds, walnuts, or pecans) or seeds (such as chia or flaxseeds) for a crunchy texture and an extra nutritional punch.
- Chocolate Chips:Â Chocolate chips are a delightful addition for those with a sweet tooth. They melt into the warm waffles, creating pockets of gooey goodness.
- Honey or Agave Nectar:Â Drizzle some honey or agave nectar for a natural and slightly floral sweetness. This pairs well with both sweet and savory toppings.
- Savory Options: Kodiak waffles are versatile, so don’t hesitate to explore delicious toppings. Try toppings like fried eggs, avocado, or smoked salmon for a unique twist.
- Bacon or Sausage:Â For a heartier option, serve your Kodiak waffles with crispy bacon or sausage links. The combination of sweet and savory is a sure winner.
