Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups Kodiak buttermilk pancake mix
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (plus more for topping)
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup + 1 tablespoon milk (almond milk used)
- 1/2 cup maple syrup or honey
- 1/4 cup avocado oil
Other
- Cooking spray (such as Misto)
- Parchment paper muffin liners
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a muffin tin with parchment paper liners and spray them lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Set aside.
- Mix Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Kodiak buttermilk pancake mix, milk, maple syrup (or honey), and avocado oil. Whisk the ingredients thoroughly until smooth. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to hydrate the mix and thicken slightly.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips to evenly distribute them throughout the batter without overmixing.
- Fill Muffin Tin and Bake: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin tin cups. Optionally, sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top for extra texture and sweetness. Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, or until the muffins are puffed and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack or serving warm. Enjoy your tasty Kodiak Cakes Muffins!
Notes
- You can substitute maple syrup with honey as a natural sweetener.
- Almond milk is used here, but any milk variety can be substituted based on preference or dietary needs.
- For a dairy-free option, ensure pancake mix and chocolate chips are also dairy-free.
- Don’t overmix after adding chocolate chips to keep muffins tender.
- Use parchment liners and cooking spray to easily remove muffins from the pan.
