Ingredients
As mentioned, you only need six simple ingredients to make these, pictured below.
Here are a few helpful ingredient notes:
- Kodiak Dark Chocolate Power Cakes– This higher protein chocolate pancake mix is super versatile. You can of course use it for pancakes, but it also works very well in these cookies and in my dark chocolate Kodiak cakes muffin recipe.
- Chocolate chips – I used regular dark chocolate chips in these cookies, but you can certainly use a no-added-sugar chocolate chip (like Lily’s) if you’d prefer cutting the sugar content slightly.
- Maple syrup – Just two tablespoons are used to help sweeten the batch. You can swap this for a sugar-free maple syrup if you prefer.
- Peanut butter – You’ll want natural peanut butter for this recipe, as the drippier texture incorporates into the batter easier. Teddie’s or Smucker’s Natural are my go-to for brands.
Instructions
You’ll find the full recipe amounts and instructions in the recipe card below, but here’s a helpful overview with photos and tips. This recipe is so simple to make!
In a large bowl, combine the Kodiak Cakes dark chocolate pancake mix, peanut butter, melted butter, maple syrup, and egg. Mix until well combined, then fold in the chocolate chips.
Portion that out onto a parchment lined baking sheet using a 1- to 1.5-tablespoon scoop for small-medium cookies, or a 2-tablespoon scoop for large cookies. Flatten the cookies about halfway down using your palm or the back of a fork, as these will not spread with baking.
Bake ‘em for about 8-11 minutes, or until the cookies no longer look moist on top.
Enjoy! Perfect alongside a cold glass of milk.

Double Chocolate Kodiak Cakes Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup Kodiak Dark Chocolate Power Cakes Flapjack and Waffle Mix (spooned and leveled)
- ⅔ cup natural peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 large egg
- ⅓ cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the Kodiak Cakes mix, peanut butter, melted butter, maple syrup, and egg. Stir until well combined, then fold in the chocolate chips.
- Portion the dough out in heaping tablespoons onto the baking sheet. Flatten slightly with the back of a fork, as these cookies will not spread when baking.
- Bake for 8-11 minutes on the center rack, until the cookies no longer look moist on top. Let cool on the pan, then enjoy.
Notes
- The dough will be a little crumbly but should hold together when scooped. If the dough seems too dry, it may be that you packed the pancake mix into the measuring cup. If that happens, add an extra tablespoon or two of peanut butter so the dough holds together.
- If you’d like to reduce the sugar in this recipe, you can use no-added-sugar chocolate chips (like Lily’s dark chocolate baking chips) and a sugar-free maple syrup.
