Ingredients
  

  • Base Pancake Batter:
  • 1 cup Kodiak Cakes Power Cakes Flapjack & Waffle Mix I love the Buttermilk variety

  • 1 large egg optional, but adds fluff and protein
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional, for flavor
  • Optional Add-Ins:
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips blueberries, or diced bananas
  • A pinch of cinnamon for warm flavor
  • Butter or oil for the griddle
  • For Serving:
  • Maple syrup nut butter, or fresh fruit
  • A sprinkle of powdered sugar optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat & Prep (2 minutes)
  2. Preheat a griddle or nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  3. Lightly grease with butter, oil, or cooking spray.
  4. Mix the Batter (3 minutes)
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Kodiak pancake mix, milk (or water), egg, and vanilla extract if using.
  6. Stir gently until just combined — lumps are okay! Overmixing can make pancakes tough.
  7. Cook the Pancakes (10 minutes)
  8. Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the preheated griddle.
  9. Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
  10. Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
  11. Serve & Enjoy!
  12. Stack them up warm, add your favorite toppings, and drizzle with maple syrup. Dig in!

Notes

✅ Don’t Overmix: A few lumps are your friend — they keep pancakes light and fluffy.
✅ Preheat the Pan: A hot, even griddle gives you that perfect golden brown.
✅ Use Milk for Richness: Water works but milk adds better flavor and texture.
✅ Add an Egg for Extra Protein: The extra protein helps keep you full longer!
✅ Keep Pancakes Warm: Place cooked pancakes on a baking sheet in a 200°F oven while you finish the batch.
