Ingredients
- 1 cup Kodiak Cakes Protein Pancake Mix
- 3/4 cup water (or milk for creamier pancakes)
- 1 large egg (optional for added protein)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (or melted butter)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder (optional, for extra fluffiness)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
- Toppings of your choice (e.g., maple syrup, fresh fruit, yogurt, nuts)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Batter
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of Kodiak Cakes Protein Pancake Mix with 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt (if using). Whisk together until well blended.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup of water (or milk), 1 large egg (if using), 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (if using).
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Step 2: Preheat the Griddle
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
Step 3: Cook the Pancakes
-
Once the skillet is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
-
Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
-
Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown.
Step 4: Serve
-
Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep warm while you cook the remaining batter.
-
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, yogurt, or nuts.
