I FINALLY tried this stuff. I pass by Batter Blaster Pancake & Waffle Batter in a can all the time at the stores. I always see it, I always wonder, ponder for a few minutes or so, and end up not buying it. But WHY?!
I don’t know. I’m a creature of habit. My brain reasons with me, Why buy this if it might be bad?… I usually eat cereal for breakfast…I don’t even really like pancakes….then I’d have to clean the pan…. (LAZY)
But this time, my friends, THIS TIME I bought it. Batter Blaster Buttermilk Pancake & Waffle Batter went into my shopping cart, up to the register, and then home with me. I want to say it was a bit pricy…maybe 4 or 5 dollars or so, and I bought it at Whole Foods.
The other day I wanted something other than oatmeal. A girl can only have cereal or oatmeal so many times, and since I don’t own a toaster that puts a damper on my breakfast options. (Ever try “toasting” a piece of bread in the oven? Yea, 15 minutes for one slice of bread is so not worth it….)
I cooked up one large pancake instead of two small ones as the serving size suggested, along with some eggs. I saw that there was very little protein/fiber in the Batter Blaster Buttermilk Pancake & Waffle Batter, so I knew I needed something to hold me. And what better to pair up pancakes with than eggs?!
Here’s the outcome…
Look yummy? Yes? Well….
IT WAS.
It was SO good. I cooked it over medium heat with a little Pam/buttery spray. The result was crispy edges, a fluffy and soft middle, and just overall delicious. I only needed to add a bit of SF syrup (would probably be even better with REAL maple syrup, but you guys know I am a diabetic!) and it was perfect! It had a yummy buttermilk flavor, and honestly tasted exactly like Ihop pancakes. In fact, I think Ihop uses this pancake batter….. ; )
And, well, it was SO EASY. A college dormer’s/lazy person’s/my brother’s dream. Literally shake the can, turn it upside down over a pan, and cook. Voila!
Obviously, the nutrition facts could be better. More fiber, less sodium. But these are SO good, so like I said, pair them with some eggs for lasting effect! Or yogurt, whatever floats your boat =) 4.5 stars
Pancakes or waffles? Which one is your favorite? Normally I’m a waffle person, but this batter blaster has CONVERTED me!!
We used to have a waffle maker in our dining hall, complete with a mix ins station and everything. They used Golden Malted mix, and I’d get the multigrain mix and have it with bananas, alamonds, and whipped cream. Eventually, I learned I could go to other stations at the dining hall and use their stuff. Obviously, bacon bits from the salad bar and peanut butter chips from the ice cream toppings bar made their way over eventually. Yes, I was “that guy.”
LOL you would. I can so see it.
