That sounds like an amazing, quick, and protein-packed breakfast idea! The simplicity of using Kodiak Protein Pancake & Waffle Mix with unsweetened almond milk to create a microwavable breakfast cake is perfect for busy mornings. With 14 grams of protein for only 4 points, it’s a fantastic option for those following a points-based system while still craving something sweet and satisfying.
One of the best things about this recipe is how customizable it is! You’ve already been adding blueberries, which are a great choice because they add natural sweetness and antioxidants without extra points. But if you want to switch things up, here are some other delicious mix-ins you might enjoy:
Mix-In Ideas for Your Kodiak Protein Breakfast Cake
1. Banana Slices – Mashed banana makes the cake even softer and naturally sweet. Try adding half a banana (0 points) for a richer flavor.
2. Lily’s Chocolate Chips – These sugar-free chocolate chips add a delicious chocolatey taste without extra sugar. A few teaspoons can really elevate the recipe!
3. Cinnamon & Nutmeg – A sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg can add warmth and depth to the flavor, perfect for a cozy morning treat.
4. Chopped Nuts – If you have a few extra points to spare, adding chopped walnuts, pecans, or almonds can provide a satisfying crunch and healthy fats.
5. Unsweetened Coconut Flakes – A small amount of coconut adds a tropical twist and pairs especially well with bananas or chocolate chips.
6. Pumpkin Puree – For a fall-inspired twist, mix in a tablespoon of pumpkin puree and a dash of pumpkin spice.
7. Vanilla or Almond Extract – A little goes a long way in enhancing the overall flavor of your breakfast cake.
Toppings to Take It Up a Notch
• Sugar-Free Syrup – Drizzle some for added sweetness without extra points.
• Peanut Butter Powder (PB2) – Mix with water and spread on top for a peanut butter flavor boost.
• Fat-Free Greek Yogurt – Adds extra protein and makes the cake even more filling.
• Fresh Strawberries or Raspberries – A tangy contrast to the sweetness of the cake.
Cooking Tips for the Best Texture
• Microwave Time: Every microwave is different, so you might need to experiment. Start with 1 minute and 30 seconds, then add extra time if needed.
• Mixing Thoroughly: Make sure everything is well combined to avoid any dry spots in the cake.
• Serving Idea: If you have time, let the cake cool for a minute, then slice it and add toppings like a real mini cake!
This breakfast cake is perfect for meal preppers, busy mornings, or anyone craving a guilt-free treat that still fits into a healthy lifestyle. With the combination of Kodiak mix’s protein boost and endless mix-in possibilities, you’ll never get bored with this recipe.
