PROTEIN BANANA PANCAKES
Packed with protein and potassium, banana pancakes are the perfect pre-adventure meal without weighing you down. No longer just a Jack Johnson song, although we do recommend a little jam session while the cakes cook.
Ingredients:
2 bananas
4 eggs
1 tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp protein powder
Mash the bananas until creamy, then add eggs and protein powder and whisk. Grease a pan or griddle on low heat. Pour desired amount of batter in the pan and cook until brown on both sizes. Drizzle syrup over pancakes or add fruit if desired. For more protein, top with peanut butter or nuts. Serves 2.
WAFFLE BACON SANDWICH
Yes, you can have waffles while camping. Pack your Bugaboo Waffle Iron and cook your fluffy syrup receptacles over the stove or campfire. Or kick it up a notch and make these protein packed sandwiches (sandwaffles?).
Ingredients:
Your Favorite Waffle Mix
Eggs
Syrup
Peanut Butter
Bacon
Syrup in a Condiment Bottle
Prepare waffle batter according to package directions. Spoon into the Bugaboo Waffle Iron and press down to cook, flipping halfway through. While your waffles rise, place three strips of bacon in a hot pan and sizzle. Remove waffles from iron and slather peanut butter on one side of each waffle. Place cooked bacon in between each waffle slice for a waffle sandwich. Drizzle with syrup and enjoy with a fork or dig right in with your hands, we don't judge.
FRENCH TOAST FEAST
Pretend you're traipsing down the Champs-Elysees instead of chomping down your dinner with a little campsite French toast.
Ingredients:
8 Slices of Thick Bread
4 eggs
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup milk
Syrup in a Condiment Bottle
Fruit (optional)
Whipped Cream (optional)
Whisk together eggs, cinnamon, vanilla, and milk until well mixed. Using a fork to help, briefly dip both sides of each bread slice in the mixture so the bread is wet but not soggy. Fry on a hot pan or griddle until toast is golden brown and egg is cooked through. Transfer to plate and drizzle with syrup, top with fruit, or spray that whipped cream. Serves 4. Bon appetit!
Dinner doesn't have to be boring, and it doesn't have to weigh you down before dawn patrol. Fill up with breakfast for dinner the night before a trip and enjoy your energy all day long.
