Description
Delicious and hearty Kodiak Cakes Banana Muffins made with whole grain pancake mix and ripe bananas. Perfect for a nutritious breakfast or snack.
Ingredients
2 cups Kodiak Cakes Power Cakes Flapjack and Waffle Mix
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup honey
2 large eggs
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups with non-stick spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the Kodiak Cakes Power Cakes Mix, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Add the Greek yogurt, honey, eggs, almond milk, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Kitchen Notes: I usually just use a basic muffin tin—nothing fancy needed, which is always a relief. They pair nicely with a smear of nut butter or a drizzle of extra honey if you want to dress them up. For a little twist, I’ve tossed in some chopped nuts or a handful of dark chocolate chips, but honestly, I haven’t tested all the variations extensively. You could swap the almond milk for regular milk or even oat milk without a hitch. And if you’re craving a bit more texture, adding some rolled oats might work, but I’d keep an eye on the baking time just in case.
FAQ:
Can I make these muffins dairy-free? Yes, substituting the Greek yogurt with a dairy-free alternative could work, but the texture might be a touch different.
How ripe should the bananas be? The riper, the better — I usually wait until they’re spotted and soft, somewhere between just ripe and almost too ripe.
Can I freeze these muffins? Absolutely. They freeze well for up to three months, and I usually just pop them in the microwave for a few seconds to warm them up before eating.
Give these Kodiak Cakes Banana Muffins a try and see how quickly they become a simple favorite. Once you have a batch ready, you’ll find yourself reaching for them more often than you expected. Enjoy the cozy mornings ahead!
