Power up your day with these delicious Kodiak protein waffles! Made with banana and optional chocolate chips, these thick and fluffy kodiak waffles are loaded with protein and fibre to give you energy to face the day. A simple and healthy breakfast that can be made in less than 20 minutes!
Place all ingredients (except the optional chocolate chips) into a high speed blender and mix on high until completely smooth.
Allow the batter to sit for 5 minutes. If the batter is too thick after 5 minutes, add a little more milk. Stir in chocolate chips, if using.
Pour about 1 cup of the batter onto the waffle iron (the amount will depend on the size of your waffle iron). Allow waffle to cook until golden brown. I cook mine at setting #2 for about 5-6 minutes, however you can adjust cooking time depending on how crispy you like your waffles.
Repeat until all of the waffle batter is used up.
Top with desired toppings. I like to serve these waffles with additional banana slices, a drizzle of peanut butter, chopped walnuts, a sprinkle of chocolate chips and a bit of maple syrup.

Notes
Use overripe banana: For best results, use a very ripe banana as it will lend more sweetness and a better flavour to the waffles.
Scrape down sides of blender: Once you’ve started blending the mixture, be sure to use a spatula to scrape down the sides and lift any of the kodiak cakes mixture that might be sticking to the bottom of blender. This will help ensure that all of the ingredients are evenly distributed and that there are no clumps of flour throughout the mixture.
Adjust batter consistency according to personal preference: If you prefer thicker waffles, add a bit of extra kodiak cakes mix. If you want a thinner batter, add a bit of extra milk until desired consistency is reached.
Cooking waffles: I typically cook my waffles on heat setting #2 for 5-6 minutes until they're golden and lightly crispy on the edges. If you prefer crispier waffles, you can turn the heat up a bit or cook them for a bit longer.
Waffle quantity may vary: The number of waffles the recipe makes will depend on the size of your waffle maker. I use the Cuisine Art Belgian Waffle Maker and get 2 1/2 large waffles or 10 smaller 4-inch waffles from the batter.
Nutrition info: The nutritional information is an estimate based on one small 4-inch waffle. The size of your waffle (and the corresponding nutrition facts) will depend on your waffle maker.
