Kodiak Cakes Now Has Plant-Based Pancake Mix — It Offers 12 Grams of Protein!

The list of ingredients on this Kodiak Cakes Flapjack and Waffle Mix is pretty basic with whole wheat flour, pea protein, and brown rice protein as the main ingredients. This mix does contain cane sugar.

A half-cup serving of this mix has just 190 calories, so you can enjoy your stack with fruit, nut butter, or maple syrup. It also has two grams of fat, 33 grams of carbs, and offers four grams of fiber and 12 grams of protein. Note that there are also eight grams of added sugars.

As you can see from the photo, the mix looks like regular ol' pancake mix. They recommend mixing one cup of mix with one cup of water, but I found that made for pretty thin pancakes, so I added a little extra mix.

These pancakes were soft and tender, with a lovely sweet flavor. They didn't even need maple syrup; I just enjoyed them with fresh sliced strawberries, bananas, and chopped pecans. I was worried that they'd taste like protein powder, but I couldn't taste the pea protein at all. When I don't have the time to mix my own whole wheat protein pancakes from scratch, these would be just as good!

Aside from pancakes and waffles, I love that on the back of the box, there are two extra recipes — one for banana nut muffins and the other for brownies! This would be a nutritious and quick option for whipping up some delicious protein-packed breakfast and dessert recipes.

My local grocery store sells Kodiak Cakes products, but I haven't been able to find this plant-based mix yet. If you're ready to give them a try, you can order a box from the Kodiak Cakes website for $6.50.
