I can’t tell you how much I am enjoying baking with my Kodiak Cakes mixes! They have made my life in the kitchen SO much easier. Instead of having to mess around with various flours and/or grinding my own in the VitaMix, I’m utterly thrilled to simply grab a Kodiak box, measure, add my other ingredients, and get on my merry baking way. Up until now though, I have really only used my Kodiak for sweet treats, but when my last shipment of MuscleEgg came and my glorious plain Organic whites arrived (which I use EVERY single day), I thought I would step out of my sugar tooth box and try something savory instead. I was craving something hearty, filling, and different from my usual baked stuff.
I knew I wanted to pack it in with lots of ingredients to make sure it was flavorful but also wanted something versatile that would work as a baked brunch side dish or even as stand alone afternoon/preworkout snack. I ended up with a dish that was filled with ingredients that were good for me and I felt like I was fueled for the rest of my day. The bread paired great with a light egg white omelet and a side of fruit as I originally intended and hoped for, but leftovers served as a great little afternoon snack I could nibble on before I trained as well! I don’t typically like having a huge meal before I workout, so a piece of this with some afternoon caffeine was absolutely perfect!
I’m not a fan of edges & corners on my brownies, BUT on breads?
Yes, please…. these corners were amazingly crisp and flavorful!
How amazing does this look?
Brunch is now served!
And again… FILLED with the perfect amount of fuel, flavor, and all things I need to start my day OR get my workout on!
This was absolutely DELICIOUS served as a “toast” also… I took a large piece of the leftovers, sliced it lengthwise, stuck it under the broiler for a minute, added some sliced ham, MORE cheese, and DEVOURED it as a sandwich. SO yummy!!!!
