Can I use Regular Pancake Mix?

Yes! If you don’t have Kodiak Cakes Flapjack & Waffle Mix just use a traditional pancake mix. If you’d like to keep the macros the same, use 1 cup of regular pancake mix + 75g extra protein powder.

Storing Your Cinnamon Roll Pancake Bowls:

  1. Cool completely: Let them cool to room temperature before storing. This prevents condensation and sogginess.
  2. Refrigerator:
    • Place in an airtight container or wrap each bowl tightly with plastic wrap.
    • Store for up to 4–5 days.
  3. Freezer:
    • Cover with lid and place in freezer.

    • Place a bowl on a microwave-safe plate.
    • Cover lightly with a damp paper towel.
    • Microwave on 50–70% power for 45–60 seconds or until warmed through.
  • Oven/Toaster Oven (Crispier edges):
    • Preheat to 300°F (150°C).
    • Wrap in foil to avoid drying out.
    • Heat for 10–12 minutes.

From Frozen:

  • Microwave:
    • Thaw overnight in the fridge first for best texture.
    • Then reheat as above.
    • Or microwave directly from frozen on low power for 2–3 minutes, checking halfway.

    These are amazing 🤩 I’ve been halving the recipe and doing 2 bowls and they are so tasty. I could eat this every morning. I add a little whipped cream on top.

    Made this in a 9” springform pan and it was AP GOOD!! Had to bake it for closer to 40 minutes, but that’s to be expected. I could eat this every day…and I just might!

    Mine didn’t turn out as beautiful as yours. Mine look flat and dry. I followed the recipe, so not sure what I did wrong. Any thoughts?

    1. Hi Dawn, my best guess is just that yours may have overcooked. I would do a little less time next time. All ovens are a little different so that’s my best guess.

    Could eat this every day! Very flavorful and satisfies my sweet tooth. Even with the little powdered sugar drizzle on top it’s still within my macro limits. Thanks for another great recipe.
