This is my attempt at making Kodiak Cakes happen from simple (and cheap) ingredients at home.
I added an egg to up the protein, but I’m pretty sure you can sub a flax egg or even some mashed banana/applesauce.
It’s become my new fav breakfast. I also make ahead 3 desserts out of it. I’ve even frozen them and thawed in the fridge overnight. They’ll lose their crisp a bit but that’s the price you pay for time traveling waffles.
The recipe makes 3 waffles in my waffle iron. Let me know if you give this a try!

This recipe tastes good and I like the texture. However the macros did not match up. I eat a very high protein diet and when I added each ingredient to my app, it was about 14-15g of protein (with 30g per scoop protein powder & non-fat Fairlife milk too, which has more protein than regular milk), so that was a little disappointing. I did multiply the recipe by 5 for meal prep during the week but that should not have affected the macros per serving. They are still very good tho and toast beautifully from frozen.
Hi Sienna,
That is not possible 🙂 I just double checked this and it has 22 grams protein per serving if you use any standard whey protein, and 20g if you use a plant-based protein like Aloha. Did you use the egg? Just to be clear, if you’re making 5x the recipe you should use 5 eggs total. Otherwise I would double check your app, sometimes the ingredients have errors because they’re mostly contributed by users.
Hope this helps and glad to hear the taste was good!
