As a mom of three boys, it can very quickly feel like my kids are eating us out of house and home. They’re ALWAYS hungry!
Feeding them easy meals that are still nutritious and filling can sometimes be challenging with their ever-growing appetites.

This whole grain pancake mix has 14 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber, which means their tummies stay full longer (always a win).

How to Prep Kodiak Cake Waffles for the Week
These waffles are such an easy meal prep recipe and make a great quick breakfast on busy mornings. I like to cook up a batch and freeze them. In the morning we just grab a frozen waffle from the freezer and pop it into the toaster before heading out to school and work!
If you want to do the same, allow the waffles to cool fully after cooking. Transfer each to a plastic bag, or wrap them individually in plastic wrap or parchment paper and stack in a Ziplock bag or other freezer safe bag or container and freeze. They’re good in the freezer for up to 2 months!
