Instructions

In a medium mixing bowl, combine Kodiak Cakes mix, cocoa powder, and espresso powder until well mixed and no lumps remain. Add milk, eggs, and peppermint extract and stir until combined and batter is formed. If the mixture is too thick, add an additional tablespoon of milk. Finally, add mix-ins – chocolate chips and crushed candy cane.

Heat a large skillet over low-medium heat. Wait 2-3 minutes for the pan to heat up and then coat with non-stick cooking spray. Spoon approximately 1/3 cup of batter on to skillet or griddle for each pancake. Let the pancakes cook for approximately 3-4 minutes.

Flip when bubbles form on the surface and do not fill with batter, and the edges are no longer shiny. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, checking the bottom for a dark golden brown color.

Repeat until your batter is gone, spraying the pan between each set of pancakes. Recipe makes approximately 8 pancakes. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 days in an airtight container.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Bloom Your Cocoa and Espresso 🫖
Mix the unsweetened cocoa powder and instant espresso powder with a splash of hot water before adding to the batter to intensify their flavors and eliminate any grittiness.
Toast Your Chocolate Chips 🍫
Lightly toast the white or milk chocolate chips in a dry pan for 1-2 minutes before folding into the batter to deepen their flavor and prevent them from clumping together.
Control Peppermint Extract Strength 🌿
Start with half the recommended peppermint extract and taste the batter before adding more, as it's potent and can easily overpower the chocolate if overdone.
Kodiak Mix Temperature Matters 🌡️
Let your batter rest for 5 minutes after mixing to allow the high-protein Kodiak flour to fully hydrate, resulting in fluffier pancakes with better texture.
Low-Medium Heat Prevents Burning 🔥
Use medium or medium-low griddle heat because the cocoa powder and chocolate chips brown quickly; this prevents dark, burnt exteriors while keeping the inside light and fluffy.
