These fluffy and nutritious Kodiak pancakes are perfect for a hearty breakfast or brunch. Packed with protein and whole grains, they are a delicious way to start your day!
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, 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.
Step 2: Preheat the Skillet
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
- To test if the skillet is ready, sprinkle a few drops of water on the surface. If they sizzle and evaporate quickly, the skillet is hot enough.
Step 3: Cook the Pancakes
- 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 in a low oven (around 200°F) while you cook the remaining batter.
- Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of toppings such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, yogurt, or nuts.
Step 5: Enjoy!
- Dig in and enjoy your delicious, protein-packed Kodiak pancakes!
Tips
- For added flavor, consider mixing in chocolate chips, blueberries, or chopped nuts into the batter before cooking.
- Adjust the thickness of the batter by adding more milk if you prefer thinner pancakes or more mix for thicker pancakes.
Enjoy your healthy and satisfying Kodiak pancakes!
