POWER CAKES

Okay so hi. I love Kodiak Cakes. Like... more than life. They taste pretty much EXACTLY like McDonald's pancakes but are full of good for you stuff like whole wheat and fibre! And they DON'T have the yuckies like added sugar and trans fat....

Buuuuut for a long time I could only get them in 'Murica. Which was okay... it just meant we had to pretty much buy Target out every trip down to Utah (while simultaneously buying all the diet mt dew....)

So yeah.... then they came out with freaking Power Cakes. All the yummies of Kodiak Cakes PLUS added protein? Ah duh. Sign me up. But oh wait... 'Murica....

Then one day I was scrolling through insta and.. THEY CAME. TO CANADA. TO COSTCO. TO CANADIAN COSTCOS. Ask me how happy I was. Go on, ask.

Naturally I wanted to bump that up a couple more notches... so what's a girl to do? Add protein powder of course!

I super love whey isolates. They are fantastic in smoothies, in yogurt, pancakes, muffins, or just shaken with milk. They come in TONS of great flavours too... and my favourite brand Cellucor is super low in carbs! So basically just a scoopful of pure high quality protein to make your breakfast bangin ;)

Look at that stack of yumminess. It doesn't even FIT on the freaking fork!!!

Get your prots people!

Protein Power Cakes For Yo FACE
Serves: 1

1/3 cup Power Cakes
1 scoop protein powder of choice (I like Cellucor!)
1 Tsp Vanilla
1 Tsp baking powder (for extra fluffiness!)
1/2 TBSP coconut flour
Milk or water (add until you get your desired consistency... thinner batter, thinner pancakes. Thicker batter, thicker pancakes!)

Preheat your griddle to 300 degrees. Mix all ingredients together, then pour into 4-5 small pancakes OR 2-3 large pancakes. Let sizzle for a minute our so, then flip! Let the pancakes cook for another 30 seconds (careful not to overcook!). Remove from heat, smother in toppings, and serve!

I like mine with peanut butter protein mousse and a big spoonful of toffee crunch peanut butter. AND syrup. Always syrup.

 So confession... The first stack was a touch overcooked. So I made them again today. The batter was thinner (I added more water I think), but I also had adjusted the temp (to 300, like in the recipe!) and watched them a little closer. FANTASTIC. PERFECT. Could have eaten two stacks. And with a nutritional count as great as this?? I probably should have.

Same toppings. So much yum. I Just want them every day.
