A friend recently introduced Kodiak Cakes, and I’m obsessed! It’s my healthy go-to breakfast with a side of (extra crispy) turkey bacon PLUS it’s perfect for National Pancake Day!
Kodiac Cakes come in a pancake mix box from Amazon:
- All Natural, Non-GMO Protein Pancake, Buttermilk, wheat flour, 100% whole grains, protein powder blend and brown sugar.
- Packed with 14g Protein, 5g of Fiber per serving, 190 calories, and ONLY 2 grams of fat (0 grams saturated).
I usually add one egg white and coconut milk for extra protein and fluffiness. (Sometimes I add a scoop of protein powder if I’m out of eggs.) With the extra ingredients, it’s 250 calories, 20g protein, 30g carbs, 5g fiber, and 7g fat. Done and done!
Some friends of mine add chia seeds, blueberries, and peanut butter – there’s really no wrong way to eat them unless you smother them with butter and syrup, which makes them so wrong but tastier!
As I’m writing this post, I see on Amazon they just launched a WAFFLE line that I’m dying to try! You can grab both varieties from Amazon.
If you don’t believe me, they have a 4.7-star rating on Amazon and 700 reviews!
Blaine Bowen is a friend of mine and has amazing jewelry, accessories, and the softest tees and sweaters. Check out her Instagram and website!

Karoliina Kazi says
Oh yum! I need to check them and their waffles as well, I almost prefer waffles to pancakes but don’t own a waffle maker. I always have my pancakes with berries and maple syrup or crispy bacon. Your snuggle is real pyjamas are awesome – where did you get them?
Whitney Kutch says
Me too so we both need to check them out!! I wished i had one of those waffle makers that are in the big shapes. Like Mickey Mouse at Disney World or something… I have a really close friend that makes these shirts! I will grab her info 🙂
Carolyn says
Great post! I love pancakes and these would be great to try. PS I love your shirt!
Whitney Kutch says
Thank you so much!! I have a great friend that does them!!
Kasey Ma says
I didn’t even know National Pancake Day existed! Thanks for sharing – I think I’m going to make some now!
Whitney Kutch says
Yes and it was a very good excuse to make and eat a stack!!!
Anshika Juneja says
Wow, this look so fluffy and soft! My favorite breakfast after oatmeal. It’s quite a treat in itself.
Whitney Kutch says
It really is and sometimes great for dinner!!!
Stephanie says
I never thought about looking for a pancake mix on amazon before. My boys like chocolate chip pancakes, so we make those using the recipe that comes on the side of a bisquick box with a few modifications.
Whitney Kutch says
Oh yes you can get ANYTHING on Amazon!! If you have a Market Street or a Target near you i believe they have this brand.
Jasmin N says
Oh my goodness I need one of those shirts😍 I wish we had a national pancake day here in Finland – though, every day can be a pancake day!
Whitney Kutch says
haha right?!? I love them so much it could easily be pancake day everyday too!
Hannah says
Sort of regret looking at this right before bedtime haha. I’m so hungry! Those pancakes look mouthwatering!!
Whitney Kutch says
Right?!?! They are great for any part of the day/night…
Denay DeGuzman says
I love eating pancakes day or night. Buttermilk, Funfetti, Buckwheat…they all have a special place in my heart. 🙂
Whitney Kutch says
Ohhh funfetti? I have never heard of those!! I will have to look this up!!
danielle says
That shirt is adorable! I love pancakes, I’ll definitely have to give this healthy version a try.
Whitney Kutch says
Thank you so much!! Yes you should!! They taste just as great as a regular pancake so you dont miss out on any of the goodness you do with most healthy things.
Theresa Bailey says
I love pancakes but I can’t have grains. I need to find a good substitute!
Whitney Kutch says
Try this if you are making them from scratch….
1.5 cups of Almond Flour (my personal favorite substitute)
3 eggs
1 cup of either water or milk
Mix it together and cook like a normal pancake and they are delicious!!!
Tonya says
It should be National Pancake Day — EVERYDAY! LOL Cracker Barrel near us has the best ones if you haven’t tried yet!
Whitney Kutch says
oh my goodness!!! I forgot all about cracker barrel!!! They have the BEST!! Just like the ones we grew up on from mom making them on the weekends. There is just something about Cracker Barrel that make me feel at home! And the huge fireplace!!!
Marjie Mare says
My daughter reminds me of pancake day, therefore, we had breakfast for dinner last night.
Whitney Kutch says
Haha!! Too funny!! But hey, pancakes can be eaten all day in my case! I love them
Angela Amores says
Oh I’ve seen these at the grocery store and wondered if they’d be good. I’ll have to try them.
Angela
Whitney Kutch says
And make sure to grab them because they go pretty fast sometimes. There will be dry spells where you cant get them.
Kari says
Yum! I had pancakes today! Whole wheat, vegan…but they were still delicious. Looks like I’m a month late for the national holiday, though! I need to mark this on my calendar for next year! Lol.
Whitney Kutch says
Yummm!!! What type are they or do you make them from scratch?
Brittany Poulson says
Kodiak Cakes are the best! I buy the big packs from costco to keep me in stock!
Whitney Kutch says
Do you get the regular or the flavored type? I have not tried the chocolate yet and really curious as to how it taste.
Kitty says
We missed pancake day here and i was so sad my go to it usually Nutella and banana or stacked with a scoop of dairy free icecream 🙂
Whitney Kutch says
Ohhh I have never even thought of that before!!! You have just opened my mind to so many possibilities!!
Corinna says
I don’t really celebrate Pancake Day, didn’t even know it existed – but the best pancakes I have had till date – are those made by my mum. She just throws things together and they end up perfectly fluffy and yummy. May not be too healthy, but as we don’t eat it often, it’s like a small celebration, whenever we do!
Whitney Kutch says
Nothing is EVER as good as moms cooking!!! It makes so many memories when the family is together and thats more important than any pancake!! I wished I could just through things together like that and not need instructions!! They are a gift!!
Helene says
I love pancakes! We choose them every time we go out for a Sunday brunch! How cute is this sweatshirt?
Whitney Kutch says
Thank you so much!!! It is so comfy and the BEST for having breakfast in bed!!
Joanie @ One Dish Kitchen says
Planning on making pancakes this weekend. I’ll have to look into Kodiak cakes, they sound interesting.
Whitney Kutch says
They taste just as great as the old fashioned grandma made type but healthier!!
Angela Tolsma says
I love your sweater so much! Pancakes and waffles are a huge part of my weekend, we usually have it for a couple meals out the two days!
Whitney Kutch says
Have you ever tried these or have a fav recipe?
Lee says
Wow, sounds so interesting! I love making new kinds of pancakes. Cute sweatshirt too!
Lee
Whitney Kutch says
Thank you so much Lee!! I hear they also have a funfetti flavor that I am looking forward to trying!!
Dani says
Love your hair! Love your sweater! I’m not as big of a pancakes fan, but I could eat waffles every day. Still, a National Food Day is always reason to celebrate!
Whitney Kutch says
OHhh they have a waffles mix too! I am like you I would prefer waffles over pancakes anyday!! Thank you so much for the sweet compliments!!
Holly Lasha says
Pancakes! Pancakes are yummy…I love that you have a healthy pancake recipe too! Awesome!
Whitney Kutch says
Yes!!! Its always fun when we can find our favorite treats and make them healthy. I feel like i can eat at least one more cake and not feel guilty.
Tia | Filtercrave says
Omg, I can’t believe I just missed National Pancake day again! My favorite pancake joint gives free pancakes on that day. I guess I’ll just have to do a late celebration making my own pancakes. Maybe I should try this recipe. 🙂
Whitney Kutch says
Yes and that allows you to get comfy and snuggle up with a plate full of your favs!!
Karen Lizarraras says
thank yo for providing an alternative! we love pancakes
Whitney Kutch says
You are so welcome!! I hope it helps!!
Samantha Carraro says
I’ve never thought of buying pancake mix from Amazon but it’s certainly a nice idea! I’ll surely try this out, I looove pancakes!
Whitney Kutch says
Its truly amazing what all Amazon has to purchase… Some of the hardest to find products you can get on Amazon.
April says
I love pancakes, every day is National Pancake Day at my house!

Christina says
Wait… pancakes with protein?!?! That is awesome (the other thing that’s awesome is your top in these pics!!)
