Imagine a breakfast that isn’t just a meal, but a journey. A journey that traverses continents, sampling flavors from diverse cultures, all while nourishing your body. This is the essence of the Kodiak Crunch, a dish that marries the hearty goodness of Kodiak protein pancakes with a global fusion of tastes.

Ingredients:

1 cup Kodiak Cakes Protein Pancake Mix

  • 1 cup milk of your choice
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • A handful of chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
  • A sprinkle of cinnamon
  • A drizzle of maple syrup

  • Preparation:

    1. Prep the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the Kodiak Cakes mix, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt until smooth.
    2. Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet and cook until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
    3. Assemble the Crunch: Top each pancake with a dollop of Greek yogurt, a handful of mixed berries, a drizzle of honey, and a sprinkle of cinnamon and chopped nuts.

    Total Time: 30 minutes

    Serving Ideas:

    Tropical Twist: Add a scoop of coconut ice cream and a drizzle of pineapple syrup.

  • Berry Bliss: Top with a mountain of fresh berries and a dollop of whipped cream.
  • Nutty Delight: Load up on chopped nuts and a drizzle of nut butter.

  • The Kodiak Crunch is more than just a breakfast dish; it’s a celebration of global cuisine. It draws inspiration from the hearty American pancake, the tangy Greek yogurt, the sweet berries of Europe, and the comforting warmth of cinnamon, a spice beloved by cultures worldwide.
