Team,
I am about three weeks into making my Kodiak pancakes with protein powder. I have tweaked my recipe each week and think I have found a winner. My next challenge is storage. This morning (day 4) my cakes felt tacky in the bag. The smell a little sharp but not quite turned.
I don't want to be taken out of training for a bad food experience but also don't want to cook these every morning before the gym. How are you storing your flapjacks?

I make pancake bars from Kodiak mix and freeze them with wax paper between them, and then microwave them. Imma be honest with you, I don’t think pancakes are meant to keep that long in the fridge anyway. If you don’t have time to heat them up in the AM then I suggest you wake up 10 mins earlier so you do.
Are you freezing them?
I cooked them all up and then used wax paper or parchment between each pancake, stacked in a ziploc. Then I’d pop them in a toaster for a minute or two to reheat quickly.
How about storing your dry (maybe also your wet (separately)) pre measured ingredients? Pancakes dont take too long to cook imo the longest process is the measuring and mixing
Put them into your freezer without a bag on them let them freeze (I use a sheet pan and let them freeze flat first) and then stack them into a together bag. Do not store these in the refrigerator or they will go bad. Make them a manageable size that you can pop into the toaster.
I freeze waffles for my kids. They taste so much better than the store bought frozen ones. I put parchment paper in between the waffles to prevent sticking. We reheat in the toaster oven.
Do you put them in the fridge or freezer? We freeze pancakes and French toast all of the time. They keep for weeks, although we haven’t found a way to combat freezer burn they still taste fine when we heat them up. Microwave, toaster oven, and air fryer all work fine. They’re more moist when they thaw than the pre-made stuff from the store though so we don’t use a toaster.
I freeze a couple dozen a month & my kids eat them on the drive to school. Frozen solid to crispy & hot in 7 minutes of the toaster oven.
I make a double batch of pancakes on Sundays, put two in a ziplock, stack them in the fridge. They last all week, my kid eats them cold or heated. This week I threw some ground breakfast sausage in them. Works great for us.
Make sure your Kodiak products aren’t part of the recent listeria recall. I know they were on the list, but it may have just been freezer case items. I do not know with any certainty.
Straight to freezer. I don’t even bother with paper in between– they freeze together a bit, but they pop apart without much trouble. I microwave usually, but toaster or toaster oven gives a better texture, just like with pre-bought frozen pancakes.
If you want to speed up your pancake prep, try sheet pan pancakes. I kept avoiding them because doing individual pancakes takes forever (relatively). One box of Kodiak mix prepared fits on one sheet pan (I spray with oil and line with parchment). Oven to 425°, bake for 10-15 minutes depending on your oven (and thickness–I think I do thicker than most of the recipes online doing one box per pan) until a toothpick comes out dry. I’ll get 10-14 out of each pan, depending on how much attention I’m paying when I cut them.
Pancakes freeze really well. I microwave to reheat and imo they’re better reheated than fresh.
You freezing them or keeping in the fridge? Can’t imagine pancakes in the fridge lasting that long
Those look so good, wth
I stack them with parchment in between like frozen burgers. Zip bag and freeze.
Might I recommend, [a Foot Locker bag?](https://youtu.be/rugeFZ7BG8g?si=aiJEpKuDyHJ64rCN)
Place a piece of pa cement paper between them and freeze them,you can then treat them like any other toaster waffle or if you like them crispy put them in the oven when it’s cold and set it to 300/350 when it beeps you should have a decent product reheated
Please post your pancake recipe!
We recently added a rule (#6) requiring either a recipe or list of ingredients, since it is so often requested. If you wouldn’t mind adding that we’d appreciate it!
So much plastic use.
PLEASEEEE DROP THE RECIPE AND MACROS also which box you use!!! i’ve been trying and always get the macros wrong 😭
