Chefadora AI has the answer - timers, swaps, step-by-step help.
Preheat your waffle iron and spray it with a little nonstick spray.
In a bowl, whisk together the Kodiak Cakes Mix, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
In another bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, egg, milk, vanilla extract, and sugar-free syrup.
Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix. The batter should be slightly thick but pourable.
Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron and cook until golden brown and crisp, usually 3ā4 minutes.
Do not overmix the batter as it can make the waffles dense.
For extra crispiness, let the waffles cook for an additional 30 seconds after the indicator light turns off.
Serve with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, nuts, or a drizzle of syrup.
Can I use a different protein powder?
Yes, you can use any vanilla-flavored protein powder, but it may slightly alter the taste and texture.

How do I store leftover waffles?

Can I make these waffles dairy-free?

Can I freeze these waffles?
Yes, you can freeze the waffles in a single layer and then store them in a freezer-safe bag. Reheat in a toaster or oven when ready to eat.
