Keto and Protein Pancake & Waffle Mixes from Happy Day Brands
Recently Happy Day Brands generously sent me a nice selection of their all-natural food products to try. To do them justice, we’ll be featuring them in three different posts. Today I’m focusing on two delicious and oh-so-easy mixes, Keto Pancake & Waffle Mix and Protein Pancake & Waffle Mix.

Although I’m usually a from-scratch cook, I do like the convenience of having good mixes on hand, and both the Keto and the Protein Pancake & Waffle Mixes taste great and are healthful, too! Both varieties are definitely mixes that I’m proud to use and serve.
In keeping with the keto diet’s principles, Happy Day Keto Pancake & Waffle Mix is low-carb. It’s made with gluten-free flours (almond, coconut, and cassava) and dried egg, with monk fruit and cinnamon for a touch of sweetness. But even if you don’t follow the keto diet, this mix is a simple way to serve tasty grain-free breakfast fare, not necessarily for breakfast.
Likewise, the Happy Day Protein Pancake & Waffle Mix is both nutritious and delicious. It’s made with whole-grain wheat and oat flours, with whey and wheat gluten proteins for a huge protein boost. These all-natural, non-GMO mixes just require the addition of water to make pancakes, or water and oil for waffles, although for extra protein, an egg can be added and/or milk can be used in place of the water.
For my first time using the Keto Pancake & Waffle Mix, I followed the instructions exactly, making a small batch of pancakes. The pancakes were delicious, thick with a nice cakey texture, rich and slightly sweet. For subsequent batches, I found that increasing the amount of water thinned the batter for more traditional looking pancakes.
I pulled out my waffle maker to try the Protein Pancake & Waffle Mix, and I’m so happy I did! The waffles were perfect, with a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior (better than many from-scratch recipes I’ve tried). Because these waffles are high in protein, I’m comfortable serving them without a side of eggs or meat—just some juice or fruit, and I’m good to go. The instructions are for making two 4-inch waffles, so I increased the ingredient amounts to accommodate the larger capacity of my Belgian waffle maker, making two big waffles.
In addition to these Pancake and Waffle Mixes, Happy Day Brands produces coffees, superfood oat products, and chocolate, all of which can be purchased at their website.
