Vegetarian, High-Protein

Prep time: 5 minutes 

Cook time: 1 hour
Servings: 4 people 

Ingredients: 

For the Pancakes

• 2 cups Kodiak Buttermilk pancake mix
• 1 ½ cups water 
• ⅔ cup diced strawberries
• ½ cup chocolate chips (or more if desired) 

For the casserole mixture 

• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup milk of choice 
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions: 

1. To a bowl, add Kodiak Buttermilk pancake mix and water. Whisk until you get a smooth batter. 
2. Heat a pan on medium heat with oil or butter, then add a spoonful of batter to the pan. Add chocolate chips or diced strawberries, then add a teaspoon of extra batter on top so it doesn’t burn the chocolate/strawberries when you flip it. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the edges begin to brown and small bubbles form. Flip and cook on the other side for 5 minutes. Repeat for the remaining batter. 
3. Let pancakes cool once cooked and set aside. 
4. Preheat the oven to 350F. 
5. To another bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon and vanilla extract. 
6. Cut all your pancakes in half, then layer in a baking dish. 
7. Pour the casserole mixture on top of the assembled pancakes. 
8. Bake in the oven for about 45 minutes or until the casserole mixture has completely cooked. 
9. Remove from the oven, let cool and cut into slices.
