Ingredients

Here’s what you need to make 12 muffins:

• 2 cups Kodiak Power Cakes Protein Flapjack & Waffle Mix
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 egg
• 1 cup milk (dairy or almond works)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 ripe bananas, mashed
• 3 tbsp honey or pure maple syrup
• 1/4 cup melted coconut oil (or substitute with applesauce or Greek yogurt)

Optional Mix-Ins

• 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (adjust liquid slightly)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the Kodiak mix, cinnamon, and baking soda.

3. Combine Wet Ingredients

Add mashed bananas, milk, egg, vanilla, honey, and melted coconut oil to the dry mix. Stir until just combined — don’t overmix.

4. Fill Muffin Tin

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups. Fill each about 3/4 full.

5. Bake

Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Pro Tips

• Use overripe bananas for maximum flavor and natural sweetness.
• Don’t overbake — muffins dry out quickly.
• Add a sprinkle of oats or extra banana slices on top before baking for a bakery-style look.
• If you’re meal prepping, freeze extras in a zip-top bag once cooled.

FAQs

Can I turn Kodiak pancake mix into muffins?

Yes! That’s exactly what this recipe does.

Can I use water instead of milk?

Yes, but milk adds richness and better texture.

Can I add Greek yogurt?

Absolutely — sub in 1/4 cup for the coconut oil or reduce the milk slightly.

Can I add protein powder?

Yes. Just increase the liquid slightly to keep the batter moist.

How do I store leftovers?

Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer shelf life.
