I made these tonight and had one for dinner. It was very dry.
So easy and super delicious! Made it exactly as called for but in one big casserole dish instead of individual bowls. Love an easy high protein breakfast! This is 5 stars
Would birch bender pancake/waffle mix be a good substitution?
Any pancake mix will work. If you want to keep the protein higher you can do a little less pancake mix + more protein powder. Or you can use Kodiak Power cakes from Walmart, Costco, Target, or Amazon. They have the same macros as the CSE pancake mix they no longer make.
clean simple eats no longer makes the pancake waffle mix its been discontinued it was my favorite! Do you have any other recommendations besides kodiak? This recipe is one of my favorites my girls love it too!
Have you not been able to find Kodiak cakes either? The macros are identical to the CSE pancake mix.
This recipe sounds and looks delicious, definitely going to make them this weekend! Was curious though, do you know how much sugar per serving is in them? Thanks!
Hi Marie, my calculation in my app says 11.4g sugar per bowl.
Awesome, thanks for the information! 😊
You drizzled some icing on after baking but I don’t see that listed in the recipe. Is it included in the macros? What are the ingredients/portions of that?
Hi Kellee, it’s actually in the blog post above. I’ll paste it for you here too. For a quick and easy glaze mix 12 tablespoons powder sugar and 2 tablespoons of milk. You can log how many grams drizzle on your pancakes and add it to your food diary by searching for Stay Fit Mom Glaze. per 15g: 40cal 0.1p/9.8c/.1f
Delicious! I subbed GF pancake mix and they came out so fluffy and soft
These are my favorite pancake bowls yet! So easy and yummy! The perfect quick breakfast to start the day!
They don’t have the cinnamon swirl protein powder anymore. I just got the snickerdoodle but hasn’t come yet. We will see how the vanilla protein powder comes out. These sound amazing!
Sorry! I didn’t even think to check and just used it because it’s been in my cupboard. I think the snickerdoodle will be really good in it too!
I used vanilla. They were fantastic!
Could you substitute Kodiak mix for the CSE?
Yes! Kodiak cakes works great to!
I’ve been trying to fold high protein breakfast ideas for my daughter who is an athlete and leaves super early every morning. This one was a winner! She LOVED it!
