Kodiak Cakes Power Cakes: Flapjack and Waffle Mix Whole Grain Buttermilk, 24 Ounce (Pack of 3)

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Kodiak Cakes Power Cakes variety pack is my go-to for easy, protein-packed breakfasts. The mixes are super simple—just add water—and the whole grain texture is hearty without being heavy. The buttermilk pancakes are classic and fluffy, while the chocolate chip adds a nice sweet twist. Perfect for busy mornings!Protein content:Each serving packs a solid protein boost, helping keep me full and energized throughout the morning.

First let me get my qualifications out of the way: I have been eating pancakes since before I could form memories. They remind me of my childhood and I am very picky about what pancakes I choose to eat because I know a good pancake when I taste it. I have made hundreds of different recipes from scratch trying to find a perfect mixture and I have tried nearly every brand out there: Aunt Jemima, Bisquick, Krusteaz, Stonewall Kitchen, Arrowhead Mills, Flapjacked, Essential Goodness, Bob's Red Mill, the list goes on and on! None of them have even come close to the quality and taste of Kodiak Cakes!I first discovered Kodiak Cakes in Costco when I was looking for an alternative to my, seemingly never-ending, pancake search. I decided I'd give them a try since I had never heard of them and picked up these Protein Power Cakes that this Amazon page is for. Just one day of trying these and I knew my search had ended. Now I purchase them through Amazon for the same price as Costco membership price and have them conveniently shipped to my door!The ingredients are all high quality, simple ingredients with a purpose: not one ingredient went into this product without a ton of thought and consideration to determine if that ingredient was useful, healthy, and will fill you with energy. No preservatives in the mix means its healthier for you too! But don't worry about the mix going bad, I've went on vacation for a month and followed by another month of work-travel with an opened box in my pantry and when i came back they were still the same delicious taste and quality.Now onto taste: simply put it's amazing. It's not too sweet like most brands, but it isn't bland. It has the perfect balance of oat and wheat, combined to make a truly delicious flavor profile which can be modified in any way you desire. Most pancakes advertised as "healthy" have a very strong wheat flavor that overpowers everything else and makes it taste like wheat bread, but Kodiak Cakes has perfectly balanced this wheat with the oat and made a delicious natural flavor.I prefer to use the Kodiak Cake mix with milk whereas my significant other uses water and both methods produce great-tasting pancakes. On most days I don't even use a syrup because they are delicious enough without it. Just add a small amount of butter and BOOM you have a great breakfast.Some days I add bananas to make it just a bit sweeter, sometimes I add chocolate chips as a desert-pancake, some times I reduce the milk to make it thicker, and sometimes I add more milk to make crepes. And sometimes I break out an egg (not technically necessary but I love the what it adds) and make super delicious waffles with them! The versatility of these pancakes is truly astounding and the fact that it fills me up and keeps me going through all morning (sometimes even into the afternoon) is something I have only found in Kodiak Cakes.Texture-wise these pancakes are also fantastic. When cooked they have an amazing crisp on the edge with a smooth interior. No rough grittiness can be felt at all (which is a major problem with other healthy pancakes which start to feel like you are chewing on sand) which leaves just the amazing mouth-feel. In addition the texture can be modified in many different ways - just like the flavor - by adding different things to the mix. On one particular day I added whole oats to give the pancake a very heavy feel and I actually used them as a snack to keep me full when fishing!With regard to the caloric intake the pancakes are worth their weight in gold! The standard half-cup serving size contains only 190 Calories which is astounding for how much protein are in them! My significant other is VERY particular about having a good calorie-to-nutrient ratio and these are the only pancakes that make the cut with regard to being healthy, nutrient-rich, and low calorie!The protein content of these pancakes is no gimmick, it is a great addition that keeps you full and energized. I am not a bodybuilder, but I do lift weights at least 3-4 times a week and I am very conscious of my protein intake (i need at least 200 grams of protein a day). Until I discovered Kodiak Cakes the ONLY way to get the amount of protein I desired in my breakfast was to east just an absurd amount of eggs each morning which is NOT good for my cholesterol. Since I discovered kodiak cakes I have been able to get my personal needed amount of protein in a healthy and balanced way.Honestly the only bad thing I have to say about these pancakes is that they are becoming so popular that sometimes they are completely out of stock (both on amazon and my local Costco). I believe this is just a sign of Kodiak's growing business being unable to keep up with the demand for this product. So if you like these make sure to stock up as I've encountered a few tiems when I needed to wait a few weeks before I could get them again.On the back of the box Kodiak Cakes tells the story of wanting to "Restore the Flapjack Tradition" and I think they have not only done that, but they have set the bar higher! They designed this recipe in the tradtional manner that kept the pioneers treking across the frontier, needing long-lasting nutrition to chop trees and build homes; then they added to this recipe to perfect its flavor and make it easy for the everyday consumer to get excellent nutrition and a great taste to boot!Trust me when I say that these are the pancakes you have been searching your whole life for! Buy them once and become a lifelong customer! You will not be disappointed, i guarantee it!

These are the best pancake mixes I have have every used. They make nice thick fluffy pancakes, and crispy waffles. I have seen these everywhere, so I tried it and I love these. It smells and tastes so and I only put two ingredients! Will be buying more again. Just try them!

Taste good.

I am just dreaming because I haven't been camping since my Army days, but this would be the perfect start of the morning with a strong brewed coffee and powder milk for the kiddies. I was really pleased with my first batch of Flapjacks (I had never heard of that term, or if I did it did not stick), and was able to enjoy them thoroughly. Or should I say we, for I refuse to eat alone if I can help it. I normally make my own batter, an old family recipe that requires accurate measurements, plus a few ingredients, and more steps than one. When I am patient and careful, they are very good indeed, but as of last my so called pancakes have taken a turn toward the mediocre kind, and when I came across this great product called Kodiak Cakes Frontier Flapjack & Waffle Mix, 24-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6), I was very intrigued to say the least. So I purchased after reading the knowledgeable and glowing reviews by the well respected amazon reviewers, I never had seen so many enthusiastic reviews for Flapjacks (I love that name), and after reading the nutrition box to see how many carbs they were all about, I was gladly surprised and encouraged by the findings.Boxes arrived, cabin like, outdoor like packaging, so much in fact, I was thinking of a mini camping trip on the backyard to add to the overall effect, perhaps myself cheating a little bit and going to my King Size where I reach deep levels of sleep without a hitch, but making sure to be the first one up to start the Flapjacks. I almost felt like hiding the boxes, and pretending it was all my skillful ways that made it happen. Enough to say is that I was able to put out an outstanding short/large stack of double fluffy (these did not flatten at all, even left overs remain inflated the next day) Flapjacks. Everyone agreed I had taken the concept to a higher level, and for a minute or two I took all the credit, when a sneaky little spy discovered the boxes. Add great syrup, Smuckers Sugar Free for the sugar intolerant, and regular Maple or your preference for the rest, quality butter (worry about heart attacks a little later), and eat them while they are hot!The real beauty is that for regular Flapjacks all that is required is plain clean water from the streams, or the refrigerator in our case, and follow closely the sound advice found in the their website, kind of like the big no no's of making flapjacks, one of the most important: do not over steer the batter, do not overcooked, do not flatten (leave them be!), etc. I wanted to take the credit, but really, it belongs to Kodiak Cakes Frontier Flapjack & Waffle Mix! Will do the Waffle mix, but for now I am lazy and happy to use be using plain old water like in the old frontier! 4.5 Stars!

The media could not be loaded. Buttermilk. As is.1 cup of mix. 3/4 of water. 1 egg.Whip up and serve. Taste: tongue "thats buttermilk". Okay. Check.As advertised.The item was to savor.

five stars

These Kodiak flapjacks are a tasty and wonderful surprise, especially if you bought them to boost your protein intake. By themselves, when made with added water, you get 15 grams of protein. Replace the water with milk and you get 18 grams of protein. Add an egg and you get 21 grams of protein! You can even make muffins and chocolate chip cookies with this mix. I love the versatility of this product, as well as the taste. It's a good buy at a reasonable price. Glad I found this. You will be too.
