Ingredients
  

  • Base Pancake Batter:
  • 1 cup Kodiak Cakes Power Cakes Flapjack & Waffle Mix I love the Buttermilk variety
  • 1 cup milk or water milk makes them richer
  • 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

Instructions
 

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