What i love about this recipe
Kodiak cakes waffle/ flapjack mix is made without refined flours and instead uses a mix of 100% whole-grain wheat flour and oat flour. It is low in sugar, and oil, and packed with 14 grams of protein.
This is a very healthy pancake mix that is super convenient to keep in your pantry because it lasts forever and you only need to add water to make pancakes. Taking only a few minutes to make, you can serve these pancakes at any time for breakfast, brunch, or easy snacks for your family.
The mix itself can taste a little bland and the pancakes can turn out flat because it is made of only whole grains. With the addition of a smashed banana and egg, these Kodiak cakes banana pancakes turn out fluffier and more delicious.
A ripe mashed banana sweetens these pancakes without having to add refined sugar and the egg helps the pancakes to rise and get nice and fluffy. These banana pancakes using Kodiak Cakes mix taste just like a homemade batch of pancakes but are much more convenient to make using only 5 ingredients.
Even though this recipe is sweet enough by itself if you like, you can serve them with a drizzle of maple syrup for a fun treat.

These are so good and fluffy! I like buying this brand because of the added protein. Really enjoy your version because it adds more protein and fruit. My son ate them up!
Thank you.

These are delicious! I double the recipe and freeze the pancakes for quick breakfast/snacks later. Just pop them in the toaster to warm them. Perfection!
