Kodiak Cake Muffins Recipe

This Kodiak Cake Muffins Recipe yields fluffy, delicious muffins perfect for busy mornings. With 5 simple ingredients these easy Kodiak muffins are the best.

I love that these yummy muffins are made using a pancake mix. It keeps meal prep a breeze, and makes the perfect snack option for adults and kids. If you've never used a Kodiak mix before, you're in for a treat. The mixture makes soft and fluffy pancakes, which means that it also makes soft and fluffy muffins.

Using the original Kodiak power cakes mix increases the protein amount in the muffins. You'll still get a great taste, just with a boost of added protein.

Ingredients

• Kodiak Pancake Mix - You'll find this in the breakfast area of the store. You just need one cup per batch.
• Egg - Binds the dry ingredients together to form the muffin batter.
• Whole milk - Helps to thin out the batter. 
• Greek yogurt - Adds moisture and protein. Using plain yogurt will give you lightly sweetened muffins with the sweetness coming from the chocolate chips. For sweeter muffins, you can use vanilla yogurt. 
• ​Mini Chocolate Chips - A fun way to add a pop of sweetness to every bite.

How to Make this Kodiak Cake Muffins Recipe

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Add muffin liners to a muffin pan. Grease paper liners well with non-stick cooking spray; these do tend to stick. 

Substitutions

• Mini muffins - If you want to make muffin bites, you can use a mini muffin pan for that. You'll have to adjust the cook time and pay close attention so that they don't burn. 
• Alternative milk - You can use almond milk, cashew milk, or any type of milk for this great snack. The back of the box may also have tips on other options. 

Variations

• Protein powder - For extra protein and an easy way to up the grams of protein, you can add a small scoop of vanilla protein powder. 
• Vanilla extract - Just a little bit of this will add a nice hint of vanilla.
• Pure maple syrup - If you want to add some sweetness, you can't go wrong with maple syrup. Reduce the amount of milk to compensate for the added liquid.
• Blueberries - Turn these into Kodiak blueberry muffins by folding in fresh blueberries to the batter. Other berries work as well.
• Mashed bananas - Add some natural sweetness to this great recipe by mixing in ripe mashed bananas.
• ​Toppings - A little bit of brown sugar on top gives them that touch of extra sweetness.

Equipment

To make this Kodiak Cakes muffin recipe, you'll need a large bowl, a wooden spoon, muffin liners, and a muffin pan. 

Storage

Once the muffins are baked and have cooled down to room temperature, store any leftovers in an airtight container. Keep them in the fridge for the longest shelf life. You can pop them into the microwave for a couple of seconds to heat them up before eating, if you prefer warm muffins.

You can also freeze the muffins for later by storing them in a freezer-safe bag. Freeze them individually so that you can pull a muffin out for the morning breakfast, and let it thaw overnight in the fridge.
