What i love about this recipe

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.

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.

Frequently asked questions
Are these pancakes healthy?

Are these pancakes better with water or milk?
The Kodiak pancake mix only requires water and it tastes delicious. You can substitute milk if you like. It will increase the protein in these pancakes and will give them a slightly sweet taste. Using water or milk is just a matter of preference, either would work great!
My banana isn’t ripe can I still cook with it?
It’s best to use a banana that is ripe and is just starting to turn brown and has a lot of spots. Since this recipe doesn’t use added sugar, the mashed ripe banana will add the best flavor to the pancakes and will be the sweetest. Unripe bananas won’t be as sweet and will be harder to mash.
How much water to add to the Kodiak mix?
The amount of water you add will depend on if you like thinner or thicker pancakes. Kodiak Cakes suggests starting with a 1:1 ratio of mix to water. However, for pancake batter, this might be a little too much water, resulting in a runny batter.
For this recipe, you are looking for a slightly thick pancake batter that is a little lumpy.

These Kodiak banana pancakes are a healthier alternative to regular pancakes because they are made with clean ingredients and will help keep you fuller for longer.

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!
