Okay, so the other day I was staring into my pantry, trying to figure out what to make for breakfast. I was really craving muffins, but guess what? I was completely out of muffin mix. Bummer, right? But then I saw my trusty box of Kodiak Cakes pancake mix and a lightbulb went off. Could I use this to make muffins? I decided to give it a shot, and let me tell you, it was a game-changer!

First, I grabbed all the stuff I usually throw into my pancakes. I’m talking about Kodiak Cakes Protein Pancake Mix, some milk (I used almond milk because that’s what I had), an egg, and a bit of oil. I also wanted to make these muffins a tad sweeter, so I decided to add some brown sugar and a splash of maple syrup. I mean, who doesn’t love a little extra sweetness in their muffins, am I right?

I preheated my oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. While that was warming up, I started mixing. I dumped about 1 1/2 cups of the pancake mix into a big bowl. Then, I tossed in about 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda. I gave those dry ingredients a good mix.

In a separate bowl, I whisked together the wet ingredients. I cracked in one egg, poured in 1/2 cup of almond milk, and added about 1/4 cup of maple syrup for that extra sweet kick. Then, I mixed it all until combined.

Next, I poured the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. I stirred everything together, making sure not to overmix. You want it just combined, you know? Overmixing can make the muffins tough, and nobody wants that.

Once the batter was ready, I greased up a muffin tin. You can use paper liners if you like, but I just went with a good old-fashioned greasing. Then, I scooped the batter into each muffin cup, filling them about two-thirds full.

  • Dump 1 1/2 cups of pancake mix.
  • Toss in 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda.
  • Crack one egg, 1/2 cup of almond milk, and 1/4 cup of maple syrup in another bowl.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl.
  • Grease up a muffin tin or use paper liners.
  • Scoop the batter into each muffin cup, filling them about two-thirds full.

I popped the muffin tin into the oven and baked them for about 15-20 minutes. The smell was absolutely amazing, by the way. To check if they were done, I stuck a toothpick into the center of a muffin. It came out clean, which meant they were ready to come out.

I let the muffins cool for a few minutes in the tin before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. And let me tell you, these muffins were delicious! They were fluffy, moist, and had just the right amount of sweetness. Plus, they were packed with protein thanks to the Kodiak mix, so they kept me full all morning.

Conclusion

So, can you make muffins with Kodiak pancake mix? Absolutely! It’s a super easy and tasty way to whip up a quick breakfast or snack. I’d definitely do it again. Actually, I might never buy muffin mix again! Give it a try, and let me know how it turns out for you. Happy baking!
