Ingredients for Kodiak Banana Pancakes

• 1 cup of Kodiak Cakes Protein-Packed Pancake Mix.
• 1 ripe banana, mashed
• 1 cup of milk (use your preference – cow’s, almond, soy, or any other But I prefer Almond Milk)
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon of honey (optional for extra sweetness)
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• Cooking spray or a small amount of butter for the pan

Directions

1. Preheat Your Griddle or Pan: Place a griddle or non-stick pan on medium heat and let it warm up while you prepare the batter.
2. Mash the Banana: In a mixing bowl, peel and mash the ripe banana until smooth.
3. Whisk the Wet Ingredients: To the mashed banana, add the milk, egg, honey (if using), and vanilla extract. Whisk everything together until well combined.
4. Add the Kodiak Cakes Mix: Gradually fold the Kodiak Cakes mix into the banana mixture. Stir until there are no lumps, but be careful not to overmix, as this can make the pancakes less fluffy.
5. Grease the Griddle or Pan: Lightly grease the preheated griddle or pan with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
6. Cook the Pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the griddle. Cook until you see bubbles forming on the surface, then flip and cook until both sides are golden brown.
7. Serve Hot: Once cooked, transfer the pancakes to a plate, stack them up, and serve while hot. You can also add your favorite toppings like fresh berries, sliced bananas, or a drizzle of maple syrup.

Tips

Use a special pan that makes pancakes not stick, so you can flip them easily. If you want an extra yummy taste, you can sprinkle a little bit of cinnamon or add some pieces of nuts to the pancake mix. If you don’t want too much sugar, you don’t have to put honey in the mix. The ripe banana makes it sweet already. To keep your pancakes warm while you make more, you can put them in an oven at low heat, like 200°F (93°C), on a baking sheet.
