Description

These high protein pancake bowls offer a convenient and delicious way to enjoy a nutritious breakfast without the hassle of flipping pancakes. Baked directly in oven-safe bowls or meal prep containers, each serving provides 24 grams of protein, making them a perfect start to your day. The recipe utilizes banana, egg whites, and Kodiak Buttermilk Power Cakes Mix for a wholesome, flavorful meal that can be customized with your favorite toppings or add-ins.


Ingredients

Base Ingredients

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


Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Bowls: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray two oven-safe bowls or meal prep containers thoroughly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mash Banana: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, mash the overripe banana until smooth and creamy.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: Whisk the liquid egg whites, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract into the mashed banana until well combined.
  4. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually whisk in the Kodiak Buttermilk Power Cakes Mix and cinnamon until the batter is smooth. If desired, fold in any additional mix-ins like blueberries or chocolate chips.
  5. Divide Batter: Evenly distribute the batter between the two prepared bowls or containers, ensuring similar portions.
  6. Bake: Place the bowls in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. The pancake bowls are done when the tops are slightly firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and allow the pancake bowls to cool for about 5 minutes, taking care as the bowls may be hot. Add your favorite toppings before serving, or cover and store in the refrigerator for meal prep.

Notes

  • You can add mix-ins like blueberries, chocolate chips, or nuts for extra flavor and texture.
  • Use oven-safe glass or ceramic bowls or meal prep containers to ensure safe baking.
  • Storage: These pancake bowls keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days; reheat gently before eating.
  • For oil alternatives, light olive oil or canola oil work well if you prefer.
  • Check the doneness with a toothpick to avoid undercooked batter.
