We absolutely love making pancakes especially when they have extra protein! Thanks to Kodiak Cakes, 14 gams of protein are in one serving. Protein helps to stabilize blood sugars and keep us full which, is why it is important if you are trying to make health changes such as weight loss or blood sugar control. We added a little vanilla Greek yogurt, pecans, and slow-cooked peaches for a touch of sweetness and even more protein! 

INGREDIENTS:

1 box Kodiak Cake buttermilk mix

3 TBS vanilla Greek yogurt ( 1 TBS per pancake)

 sprinkle ofchopped pecans

1 peach, medium

drizzle of 100% pure maple syrup

cinnamon 

DIRECTIONS:

Make pancakes according to box directions. Once done, set aside and in a small skillet on low-medium heat, place sliced peaches, a sprinkle of cinnamon and maple syrup until slightly caramelized. Top pancakes with yogurt, peaches, and pecans. Enjoy!
