It’s confession time. I’ve developed a deep love for Kodiak Cakes. I think about them, stock up on them, and talk about them all too often. I’m obsessed, to say the least. First, I love that they’re healthy and made with whole grains. Plus, the protein mix has added protein, making it perfect for a quick breakfast that’ll keep me full. Second, I love that they’re easy to make. Healthy pancakes no longer take three bowls, a list of ingredients, and a full dishwasher. Lastly, they taste absolutely delicious. They’re hearty, a little sweet, and have that whole-grain taste I love!
Because they’re so convenient, I’ve used them for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert. So grab a box, one bowl, and let's get cooking!

Once the butter is melted, remove the pan from the oven, sprinkle sugar evenly over top, and spread the raspberries across the pan. Then, mix pancake mix, sugar, water, oil, egg, vanilla, and almond extract until a soft dough forms. Spread the dough over the raspberries and bake for 30 minutes until cake is golden brown and cooked through. Let it cool for 5 minutes. Place a large plate over the top and quickly flip the pan over so the plate is on the bottom. Slowly remove the pan. Top with whipped cream if desired and enjoy!
