Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups Kodiak Buttermilk Power Cakes Flapjack & Waffle Mix
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (optional, if needed)
Wet Ingredients
- 3/4 cup whole milk, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1 egg, room temperature
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 oz applesauce
- 3/4 cup pumpkin purée
Add-ins & Toppings
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips, divided
- Optional toppings: fresh berries, sliced apples
Instructions
- Preheat oven and prepare dish: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the Kodiak mix, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
- Add wet ingredients: Stir in the milk, melted butter, egg, mashed bananas, vanilla extract, applesauce, and pumpkin purée. The batter should be wet but not runny. If it appears too wet, gradually mix in the additional flour, one to two tablespoons at a time, until the batter reaches a thick, scoopable consistency.
- Fold in chocolate chips: Gently fold 1/4 cup of chocolate chips into the batter for bursts of chocolate throughout the cake.
- Transfer batter and add toppings: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips and any additional toppings such as fresh berries or sliced apples evenly over the top.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Cool and serve: Allow the Breakfast Cake to cool in the baking dish for 10-15 minutes. Slice into squares and serve warm for a hearty breakfast or any meal of the day.
Notes
- If batter is too runny, add extra flour 1-2 tablespoons at a time until it thickens.
- Use ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and moisture.
- Feel free to substitute dairy milk with a plant-based milk for a dairy-free version.
- Toppings such as fresh berries or sliced apples add extra flavor and texture.
- This cake keeps well refrigerated for up to 3 days and can be reheated before serving.
