Full Disclosure: I paid for this with my money and am not being compensated for this post in any way. As always, all opinions are my own.
I’ve always been a fan of pancakes. Growing up, we made pancakes for breakfast pretty much every weekend. My tastes about how I like my pancakes has changed a bit though. I used to be a fan of the Bisquick version, and throughout the years I’ve grown to like a slightly sweeter, eggier, and thinner pancake. (If anyone has the recipe for the 49er flapjacks at The Original Pancake House, I will be eternally grateful!)
For quick pancakes, my go-to choice now is Kodiak Cakes Flapjack and Waffle Mix. (I’ve reviewed these before – here) Recently while browsing the food aisles at Target, I came across a “flapjack on the go” version of Kodiak Cakes, and thought I would give it a try.
Calling these “flapjacks” (aka pancakes) is a bit of a misnomer in my opinion. To me, no matter the flavor or texture, being flat is what makes something a pancake. These are definitely not flat. As you can imagine by the size and shape of the container, they are more like the shape of a muffin. Which is totally fine with me, I just think it is a bit deceiving if someone thought they were going to get a flat pancake out of that container by the name of the product.
I have tried the Cinnamon Maple, and Buttermilk Maple varieties. (Those links are to Target’s website because I can’t seem to find them on the Kodiak Cakes site. Maybe they are just that new?) While both are good, the Cinnamon Maple is definitely my favorite. It tastes like a really light and fluffy cinnamon muffin. I like that it is a little bit sweet, too, in times that I am wanting a sweet snack.
Aside from the flavor, I also really like that these are full of whole grain and pure maple syrup!
Taste: A+, so good.
Cost: A-, you do pay for the convenience, but at $1.99 (and they actually were on sale for $1.79 last time I was there) I don’t think it is too bad to have a convenient, quality, food.
Would I buy them again? Absolutely. I have, and I’m sure I will again.
