Pancake and Waffle Mix

I am on the keto diet and have been watching several YouTube videos for advice on my food options. I saw a young lady on youtube make mini waffles using Highkey pancake and waffle mix and they looked soooo good, so I had to try them. I ordered a pack on 9/18/20 and received them on 9/20/20 and YES, I purchased a mini waffle maker ! I'm waiting for the keto syrup to come but I just couldn't wait anymore. So on Monday morning 9/21/20, I woke up, did my morning weigh in, went to the kitchen, BROKE OUT my new, candy apple red, mini waffle maker and mixed the listed ingredients on the package to make these waffles that looked so moist, soft and delicious on a youtube video. The batter actually made 2 mini waffles which is perfect for anyone on keto. The sweet smell of vanilla had me double checking to make sure it was really "keto friendly" ! Because I was still waiting for the keto syrup to arrive, I had to come up with a substitute, so I opted to add Original Reddi whip and 2 cut up strawberries. Can I Just tell you that this pancake/waffle mix definitely has the right name because it had me singing a high key when I took my first bite. Accompanied with 4 pieces of turkey bacon and 2 eggs fried in olive oil spray topped with sharp cheddar cheese, was truly LOVE !! EVERYTHING about Highkey pancake and waffle mix's finished product is perfect, the taste, the texture, and the aroma. Although I wish the price was alot less than $9.98 but I understand that there is a cost for eating healthy so for now because I am not working, I'll have to fix highkey waffles as a treat. If you like healthy, sweet, golden brown soft waffles, Highkey is IT !!!! I will be making mini pancakes on my next go 'round and by that time, the keto syrup will be here. Thank you for creating such a wonderful product ! Sincerely, Tamara Purnell

I have to preface this by saying I do not eat a Keto diet, but I really like to eat breakfast foods that are higher in protein, fiber and lower in carbs because I am filled up longer until lunch. I also really like pancakes and have tried just about all of the mixes out there! I was impressed by how well the ingredients came together. Usually you need a lot more milk or a lot more mix to get the right consistency, but the amounts given were perfect. I was also impressed by how the batter set and how easy it was to pour onto the pan. The taste was excellent. I could not taste a strong sugar substitute flavor at all. They tasted like good old fashioned pancakes. The texture was a little different, but I did not find it to be off putting and I had never had almond flour before. I truly think a person who has to refrain from gluten or grains would like it just fine. As for me, I will probably stick with my regular high protein pancake mix because I don’t have any special dietary needs, but I plan to wholeheartedly recommend this to my friends and family who are on a Keto diet or who are simply trying to watch their carb intake. This is a GREAT option.

I just tried my first pancakes since going on Keto and have to say that these turned out pretty good and I will likely buy the mix again. I only had two issues overall: 1) They are a bit grittier than regular pancakes, but not to the point of being off-putting. I take it that is because of how refined the almond flour is. The almond flour is akin to granulated sugar in texture instead of flour. 2) I followed the directions exactly and all I ended up tasting is buttery coconut. The coconut oil completely overpowered everything but the butter that I cooked it in. If you're not a fan of coconut, I recommend using a different oil. I like coconut, but this was a bit too strong. I cooked the pancakes using butter and put Walden Farms pancake syrup on it and overall, I liked it. I need to try a substitute for the coconut oil next time though.

I ordered this mix because I’m on keto and wanted to try it. Then when I got it, I saw it has coconut flour in it. I read and re-read the ingredients before buying and never saw that or I wouldn’t have ordered it (husband is allergic). Not eligible to send back, so my daughter and I are hurrying to eat it while he’s out of town. Anywho......this mix is ok, but slightly dry for me. I made waffles today, might try pancakes tomorrow with it. The almond flour flavor and texture are very present and I’m not a fan of that. I used cake batter extract instead of vanilla, but that didn’t really help much. I believe I’ll stick to chaffles.

One thing I dearly missed being on the keto lifestyle was fluffy delicious pancakes. I tried to make my own mix but wasted money on ingredients and failed miserably. When I saw Highkey pancake mix I was a little hesitant with the price but I reminded myself it wasn't much more than a meal deal at a fast (and unhealthy) food restaurant. When the mix came I made a batch of pancakes right away and was AMAZED! So flavorful, warm and fluffy, delicious and filling and a GUILT free treat. One 1/2 c serving of the mix goes really far. One second is 3 pancakes! I have made 3 batches so far and can probably get two more out of this packet. I even have enough to share with my father in law who recently had a heart attack and needs to watch his carb intake carefully because he is also diabetic. If you are hesitant to purchase this like I was because of the cost DO NOT BE! It's only about $2 a serving. Highly recommend. Yum.
