How to make Jacked-O-Lantern Waffles

  1. Step 1

    Preheat your waffle iron and spray it with a little nonstick spray.

  2. Step 2

    In a bowl, whisk together the Kodiak Cakes Mix, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.

  3. Step 3

    In another bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, egg, milk, vanilla extract, and sugar-free syrup.

  4. Step 4

    Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix. The batter should be slightly thick but pourable.

  5. Step 5

    Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron and cook until golden brown and crisp, usually 3–4 minutes.
