Description

A healthier, yummy take on a favorite banana macadamia nut pancake recipe.


Ingredients

Units Scale

For Pancakes:

  • 1 1/2 cups Kodiak Cakes Cinnamon Oat Mix (to make these gluten free, you can use a gluten free mix like Birch Benders)
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 small banana
  • 1/4 cup macadamia nuts, chopped

For the Coconut Cream Topping:

  • 1/2 cup plain Greek Yogurt
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened vanilla or plain almond milk
  • 1 serving vanilla protein powder
  • 2 tablespoons unsweeteend, shredded coconut
  • Raw honey, to taste (if needed)

Instructions

For Pancakes:

  1. Heat your griddle or pan to medium heat.
  2. Place the pancake mix, water, egg whites, yogurt and banana in a blender. Blend on high until smooth. Stir in the macadamia nuts.
  3. Spray the griddle with cooking spray (I use a coconut oil spray).
  4. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour the batter slowly onto the prepared griddle. Once small bubbles start to form on top of the pancakes, flip them.

For the Coconut Cream Topping:

  1. Add the yogurt, almond milk, protein powder and coconut to a blender and blend until smooth.
  2. Add up to 1 tablespoon of raw honey, if needed.
  3. When ready to serve, top the warm pancakes with the coconut cream topping. You can also add some additional macadamia nuts, sliced banana and cinnamon.
