What are Kodiak Cakes? Why do I need a list of Kodiak Cake recipes?
To put it simply, they are a brand of whole-grain, protein-filled pancake and waffle mix that people are using to make cakes, cookies, and protein balls as well as pancakes and waffles.
Why is there so much fuss about them among the health and fitness community?
Well, because they use whole grains instead of refined flour or even whole wheat, they are much healthier and nutritionally dense.
However, you do need to be careful and read the ingredients as some flavors can have much more added sugar than others.
So you want to try out these Kodiak cakes but don’t know where to begin? Here are 24 Kodiak cake recipes.

8. Kodiak Cake Drop Biscuits
These drop biscuits come straight from the Kodiak Cakes Blog, and are akin to quaint English scones you eat with freshly pressed jam.

It’s quite a thick batter, but not so thick it won’t literally ‘drop’ from the spoon onto the skillet to agreeably cook into a biscuit.

All of the benefits of the no-bake balls, but without the hassle of actually rolling them. Kodiak Cakes shares this recipe, which uses their very own whole-grain oats.
18. Kodiak Cakes Banana Muffins
Banana muffins are a staple home baked good. They always turn out great, and use up all the bananas no one wanted to eat.

Summer Yule shares a fantastic recipe where each muffin is only 116 calories but offers over 4 grams of protein.

21. Kodiak Cakes Baked Pancakes
Of course, the mix is traditionally used as a pancake mix, but Kayla Girgen RD comes up with the idea of using it to create baked pancakes versus a griddle. This is a much better way of feeding a crowd than having to fry up each pancake individually on a griddle. Prepare the batter, pour it into a baking dish, and voila, slice them into ‘pancake squares’ for brunch.
