Ingredients

Pancake Mixture

  • 1 large overripe banana
  • 2/3 cup liquid egg whites
  • 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil (or substitute with light olive oil or canola oil)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup Kodiak Buttermilk Power Cakes Mix
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Optional Add-Ins

  • Blueberries, chocolate chips, or other preferred mix-ins (optional)

Toppings

  • Your choice of fresh fruit, nuts, syrup, or yogurt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare bowls: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray two oven-safe bowls or meal prep containers with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mash banana and combine wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, mash the overripe banana until smooth. Whisk in the liquid egg whites, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  3. Mix dry ingredients and add-ins: Add the Kodiak Buttermilk Power Cakes Mix and cinnamon to the wet mixture. Whisk thoroughly until all ingredients are incorporated. At this point, fold in any optional add-ins like blueberries or chocolate chips.
  4. Divide batter into bowls: Evenly distribute the pancake mixture between the two prepared bowls, making sure they are filled evenly for consistent baking.
  5. Bake pancake bowls: Place the bowls in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Check for doneness by ensuring the tops are slightly firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
  6. Cool and serve: Remove the bowls from the oven and allow them to cool for about 5 minutes. Handle with care as the glass may be hot. Add your favorite toppings and enjoy immediately or store in the fridge for later consumption.
