Ingredients

1 scoop (or slightly less, about 17 to 20g) protein powder*
1/8 cup (or slightly less, about 16 to 20 grams) Kodiak Cakes mix
1/4 cup (or slightly less) egg whites from a carton + 2-3 tablespoons or more of water for a thinner consistency I typically use about 40 grams egg whites and then enough water to get desired consistency
1-2 tablespoons (about 20 grams) pumpkin purée from a can or mashed banana
1/2 teaspoon baking powder optional (I typically leave this out and would only use if I weren't using the Kodiak Cakes mix)
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon or pumpkin spice optional (I don't use)
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract optional (I don't use)
Optional for serving: maple syrup, almond butter, Walden Farms calorie free pancake syrup and/or fresh fruit

Instructions

Heat waffle iron.
Stir all ingredients together in a small bowl, until batter is free from most clumps. Add as much water as needed to get a waffle batter consistency. The batter should be thick, but slightly pourable too.
Once waffle iron is heated, spray top and bottom of iron with nonstick cooking spray and pour batter over bottom of the iron. Natural nonstick cooking sprays do not work well in this recipe because this waffle tends to stick easily. Use the back of your spoon to spread the batter evenly over the iron.
When waffle iron goes off, transfer waffle to a plate and top with your favorites. Serve immediately or store in a covered container to reheat and enjoy later.

Notes

*I use half Kodiak Cakes Power Cakes mix (I like the dark chocolate variety) and half PEScience protein powder. For best results, I recommend the mix of protein powder with Kodiak Cakes Mix and not just protein powder.

**When I make these, I use my food scale and measure in grams. Here are my measurements: 17g protein powder, 16g Kodiak Cakes, 20g pumpkin, 40g egg whites and then I add a bit of water as I stir to get the right consistency.

-Nutritional information is calculated with Tone It Up protein powder, 22g Simple Truth canned pumpkin purée and Simple Truth brand carton egg whites with no additional toppings.
