Kodiak Protein pancakes cooking
Kodiak Protein pancakes mix, following the directions, but added some Greek yogurt for a nice fluffy texture and extra protein.
1) Pour 1 cup mix into a bowl, add 3/4 c water (or milk, but I was out), 1 egg, and 1 extra large spoon full of regular Greek yogurt.
2) Mix well until everything is blended together, try not to over mix. Let it sit for about 10 minutes so the whole grains can soak up the liquid, it will be less gritty.
3) Cut up the fruit you want to top the pancakes with and take the syrup out of the fridge. I use real maple syrup, so much better in every way!
4) Heat your pan to medium-high heat, spread with butter. Once butter is bubbling take a 1/4 measuring cup and scoop the batter onto the hot pan. Let cook for a couple minutes, bubbles will form in the pancake batter, then flip and cook another 2 minutes until nice and golden brown.
5) Place the cooked pancakes 🥞 on your plate, spread maple syrup over them, top with fruit 🍓 and as you can see I added whipped cream to one for a sweet treat! Enjoy!
👍Pros: A minimum of 18g for 3 small 4" pancakes made this way, my plate probably had an equivalent of 27g protein.
I made this with extra protein so I can help my body absorb the calcium and vitamin D3 supplements I am taking, vitamin k from the berries, so my bones will hopefully recover from periosteo (not positive if that is the right term), according to my research I have done. My doctor is also helping me with a plan. I'm trying hard to exercise as well. Bone strength develops with weight bearing exercises such as walking, and also doing Pilates. Whole grains are better than highly processed broken down flours.
👍Pros: These taste amazing, my husband who is a picky eater when it comes to new things ate these without a blink or question. I asked what he thought since it was whole grains and he said it was good, he couldn't tell a difference!!!
🤔Cons: I couldn't think of anything
🛍Brand: Kodiak
💰Price: I got this from Sam's when it was on sale, so it was a decent affordable price. At Walmart a 20 oz box is around $5.

If you’re looking to boost your breakfast nutrition, Kodiak Protein pancakes are a fantastic choice, especially when enhanced with Greek yogurt. Adding Greek yogurt not only creates a light, airy texture but also significantly increases the protein content, which is ideal for anyone aiming to build muscle, recover from exercise, or maintain sustained energy throughout the day. In my experience, letting the batter sit for about 10 minutes before cooking is key to a smoother texture. This rest period allows the whole grains in the mix to absorb moisture, preventing the pancakes from feeling gritty or dry. I typically cook them on medium-high heat with a little butter, ensuring a golden brown surface without burning. Topping your pancakes with fresh fruit such as berries adds vitamin K and antioxidants, supporting bone health alongside the calcium and vitamin D3 supplements that many of us are taking for stronger bones. The addition of real maple syrup adds natural sweetness and pairs beautifully with whipped cream if you want a treat without compromising on flavor. From a dietary standpoint, whole grains provide more fiber and nutrients compared to processed flours, enhancing digestion and keeping you fuller for longer. For those managing health conditions or aiming to strengthen bones, incorporating weight-bearing exercises like walking or Pilates further complements the nutrient intake from a protein-rich breakfast. This recipe has been a game-changer for me and even convinced my picky eater husband to enjoy whole grain pancakes without hesitation. It’s affordable and accessible, available in most supermarkets like Walmart or Sam's Club, especially when on sale. If you want to personalize your pancakes further, consider adding cinnamon or vanilla extract to the batter for extra flavor without extra sugar. Overall, Kodiak Protein pancakes with Greek yogurt are a delicious, nutritious way to start your day and support your health goals effectively.
