What does adding cottage cheese to pancake mix do?

Adding cottage cheese to Kodiak Cakes significantly boosts protein content from 14g to 44g per serving. The casein protein provides sustained energy, while the moisture from cottage cheese creates incredibly fluffy pancakes without heaviness.

Can I add cottage cheese to Kodiak pancake mix?

Absolutely! This is exactly what makes this recipe so amazing. Mix ⅓ cup cottage cheese with ½ cup Kodiak mix and 1 egg for the perfect ratio. I always blend the cottage cheese first for the smoothest texture.

How to increase protein in Kodiak pancakes?

Cottage cheese provides the biggest protein boost while maintaining perfect texture. You can also add Greek yogurt, extra egg whites, or protein powder, but nothing beats the cottage cheese hack for both protein and taste.

Why are my cottage cheese pancakes sticking?

Make sure you're using enough non-stick spray and cooking on medium heat (not high!). Also, let your pan preheat properly - about 2-3 minutes before adding batter. Overmixed batter can also cause sticking issues.
