Kodiak Cakes Banana Muffin Recipe – Easy, Protein-Packed Muffins

Let’s talk muffins. Not the sugary store-bought ones that crumble before your first bite—but hearty, banana-packed muffins that fuel your day. This Kodiak Cakes Banana Muffin Recipe is one of my go-tos when I need something fast, cozy, and packed with protein. It’s the kind of muffin you can whip up in minutes and still feel good about serving your family—or sneaking one for yourself.

Why I Love These Kodiak Banana Muffins

These aren’t your average muffins. They’re…

• Protein-packed, thanks to Kodiak Cakes mix and dry milk powder
• Naturally sweetened with banana—no sugar overload
• Perfectly portioned to make just four muffins (no waste!)
• Moist and tender, even better chilled

Whether I’m meal prepping for school lunches or tossing something in the oven on a sleepy Saturday, these muffins never disappoint.

Ingredients for Kodiak Cakes Banana Muffins

Here’s what you’ll need:

• 43g Kodiak Cakes Power Cakes Flapjack & Waffle Mix (buttermilk flavor; about 6.5 tablespoons)
• 1 medium ripe banana, mashed (about 5–6 tablespoons)
• 12g instant dry milk powder (2 tablespoons)
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• 1½ tbsp whole milk
• ½ tbsp avocado oil (or any neutral oil)
• Cooking oil spray
• 1 tbsp chocolate chips, optional (but let’s be honest, you probably will)

How to Make Kodiak Banana Muffins

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C).
2. Line 4 muffin tins with papers and spray with cooking spray.
3. In a medium bowl, stir together the Kodiak mix, milk powder, and cinnamon.
4. In a separate small bowl, mix the mashed banana, milk, and oil.
5. Pour wet into dry and stir gently until just combined.
6. Divide batter evenly into the four muffin cups.
7. Top with chocolate chips if using.
8. Bake for 10–12 minutes, placing the tray about one-third from the top of the oven.
9. Check for doneness with a toothpick—it should come out clean or with a few crumbs.
10. Cool on a rack for 30–60 minutes before chilling.

These muffins taste best when fully chilled—they firm up and get even more moist. Trust me on this one.

Tips for the Best Kodiak Cakes Muffins

• Use an extra-ripe banana with lots of brown spots for max flavor

Storage Tips
