Protein-Packed Kodiak Pancakes

1.In a large mixing bowl, combine the Kodiak pancake mix and ryse protein powder, mixing well to ensure there are no clumps.

2.In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.

3.Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

4.If you prefer fluffier pancakes, add the baking powder to the batter and mix gently.

5.Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or a small amount of oil if necessary.

6.Pour about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.

7.Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown.

8.Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.

9.Serve the pancakes warm, topped with fresh fruit, additional maple syrup, or your favorite toppings.
