Ingredients
- 1 cup Kodiak Cakes Protein Pancake Mix
- 1 cup milk (or your choice of milk alternative)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (or coconut oil)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder (optional, for extra fluffiness)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Cooking spray or additional butter for the skillet
- Optional toppings: Fresh fruit (such as blueberries or bananas), maple syrup, yogurt, or nuts
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Batter
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the Kodiak Cakes Protein Pancake Mix, baking powder (if using), and salt. Whisk together until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. Let the batter sit for about 5 minutes to thicken.
Step 2: Heat the Skillet
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Step 3: Cook the Pancakes
- Once the skillet is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 4: Serve
- Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep warm while you cook the remaining batter. Repeat until all the batter is used.
- Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of toppings, such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, yogurt, or nuts.
Enjoy!
These Kodiak pancakes are not only delicious but also a great way to fuel your day with protein and whole grains. Enjoy your breakfast!
