I think we all (baby included!) slept well last night thanks to a cozy rainy day. The cozefest continues this morning with a short stack. Kate, Nate and Liam headed to the bakery for breakfast, so I was forced to consume this whole stack!
I cannot stop thinking about pumpkin Kodiak cakes and their amazing texture! It’s not so much about the pumpkin flavor, which is very subtle, but about the texture. They are so soft and SO doughy!! The best thing about kodiak cakes is that you just add water and they are whole grain. Our Great Harvest pancake mix is fabulous, but it calls for egg and oil and water – a bit too complicated for me! Although I wonder if I could just add water and some flax…
You know what else is amazing? Biscoff spread. All melty and sweet.
Green tea for a grey day
Have a grey-te one!

Shoulda gotten a jar of Biscoff spread when we were in SF and had the chance! Oh and I have yet to try Kodiak Cakes (!!). I’m coming over for breakfast tomorrow
Mmm those look yummy! After reading about Kodiak cakes on your blog so many times, I went out and bought the mix a few months ago – so good and so easy!! How much pumpkin do you add? I should try that sometime.
About 1/3 a cup
I plan to make pumpkin pancakes every weekend! They’re the best. All yours need are some chocolate chips
These look fantastic. It is rainy here as well, and my green smoothie with cacao (minus ice) was still too cold for the day.
Okay, enough is enough. I’ve got to find some Kodiak mix. I’m not the biggest pancake person (I always feel like I need a nap after I eat them), but some days they are totally necessary.
Can I just say how excited I am about pumpkin?? And fall in general??
mmm pumpkin pancakes… I have yet to buy pancake mix (or even flour for that matter) at my new apartment.. it’s on the list for today. I don’t know how I’ve survived this long.
Rain, rain and more rain on the blogs this morning! Food looks great as always!
I wish it were grey and cozy over here! Nope, just another 97 degree day in good ol’ Southern California.
I wish I had the energy to make a delicious short stack for myself. Where do you get the kodiak cakes? I could probably manage to mix something with water and cook it without it being too much trouble
I love doughy pancakes!!! They are the best
I have been so inspired by you, I decided to start my Master’s in Nutrition this past summer =)
I am loving the nutrition classes, Biochem.. not so much!
Congrats!
Those pancakes looks delicious — and did you warm up the banana too?
Yup – cooked it on the skillet
That’s such a genius idea – and so simple!
Those look the delicious–I love that you are doing some early embracing of fall flavors! I’ve actually never had Biscoff spread (can’t find it!) but that’s definitely on my to do list because their cookies are so darn delicious.
Gah, looking at your p-cakes has officially made my tummy more than ready for breakfast #2
Those cakes look amazing! Where can I find Kodiak cakes?
I think the best place is online – I haven’t seen them in stores yet
I know in the west coast I’ve seen it at Vons, Stater Bros, Albertsons…not sure if you guys have those stores on the east coast though.
On the West Coast, they carry them at Fred Meyer too.
Oh cool,I’ve never heard of Fred Meyer, are there any California?
I LOVE biscoff spread!! The flavor reminds me of traveling because they always have Biscoff cookies on Delta flights. I imagine it would be amazing on pumpkin pancakes…very warm and cozy-tasting.
I need to get Kodiak cakes asap then! Hah
I’m so excited for the return of pumpkin! I bet that ginger-y brown sugar taste in the Biscoff was perfect on those ‘cakes!
How perfect for a rainy morning!
I’ve used pumpkin and applesauce instead of egg and oil in pancakes and it works. I bet flax for the egg and pumpkin for the oil…I’m guessing that would work for the Great Harvest mix! I hope you have a great day Kath!
You definitely don’t have to tell me twice that that Biscoff spread is amazing! I was drooling just looking at it.
I hear ya on the effort of the GH mix, sometimes just throwing in some water is too easy to pass up – though I’d argue the GH pancake mix is worth every ounce of effort
You’ve got my stomach growling and it’s not even 10:30!! These sound amazing. I’ve never tried Kodiak cakes but pumpkin is my favourite thing to add to my usual pancake batter. Have a great day!
Yummm pumpkin pancakes! I was thinking on them during my drive this morning…it would have been such a good day for those! Enjoy the rainy day
It’s been ages since I’ve downed any pancakes. I still have to check out those kodiak cakes.
The morning eats look so good but I’d take mine with coffee please.
I seriously think I’m going to make pancakes for dinner because of this post. Perfect for this dark, dreary day!
nice play on words…I plan on it! Today is Henry’s 3rd birthday…which means CAKE and ICE CREAM!!
I am loving that it is now fall and pumpkin is everywhere!!
It is a GREY day here too– grey and wet!! Pancakes are great for a rainy day!
I looove biscoff spread (speculoospasta)!
Do they already sell the crunchy one in America? Super, with some little gingerbread chunks!
Now that’s a nice stack of cakes! I’d cozy up with em asap!
i love adding pumpkin to my pancakes!! i made a new recipe pumpkin loaf this morning and, you’re right, the taste is subtle, but the bread turned out so soft and so doughy!!
Yummm is that coconut on top??
pumpkin pancakes?!? yes please! And I finally broke down and bout some chia seeds – SO worth the money! I’m in love!
So grey and yucky here too! I want sunshine so I can bring my class outside for recess! I dont think that will be happening anytime soon!
I love how fat and doughy pumpkin makes pancakes! I have never tried kodiak mix but it does sound convenient.
pumpkin pancakes and biscoff….droooooling
YUM! Pancake stacks make the prefect breakfast
we have something similar to bischoff spread called spekuloos spread here in nyc, I LOVE it on sweet potato or pumpkin biscuits. LIke LOVE LOVE it.
mmm those pancakes look amazing – so thick! I was at the giant international grocery store in cinci this weekend and saw Biscoff spread! The Boy found my excitement over it to be amusing – i literally squealed when I saw it! Alas, I did not buy the spread, but I did buy some of the cookies!
I totally saw the biscoff spread and cookies on display at fresh market last week and thought of YOU! So funny you got some! How sweet!
Liam is super cute!
And those pancakes are perfect for a grey day!
xoxo
Yum- looks amazing. I *heart* fall
I love Kodiak cakes!!! They sound great on a dull day like today =)
Yum I love your pancake stacks!
Hope the weather clears up
Mmm…pumpkin pancakes with syrup. I can’t wait to make some. I love how fluffy yours look, like magazine picture pancakes. Yum!
Yum! those nanners look amazing with the pancakes!
I absolutely love soft and doughy pancakes–best breakfast!!!

Ohio is so cool today! 90 to 50 degrees in a day flat :/
) and I can’t wait to make them with pumpkin! Great idea!
I have Kodiak mix (thanks to your great product advertising
My goodness, those look HEAVENLY.
They look yummy and way easier than my quinoa pumpkin pancakes! I am going to have to try doing that with my kodiak mix! I find I just use it for camping. I wonder if you add some powdered egg to your mix you would be able to have a one step mix?? Or do you have to follow a GH recipe for the pancake mix?
That’s what Kodiaks have in them
I have the Kodiak cakes mix and love it but I’ve never tried it with pumpkin. That’s definitely a must-do for this fall!
It was a perfect pancake morning with the rain. I opted for french toast with caramelized bananas though. Still delicious
Those look fantastic! I love the little sprinkles of coconut on the top!
I bet you could just add milk to your GH mix. Mama Pea has a couple of vegan pancake recipes that are basically flour, baking powder and milk plus flavor/add-ins. You should test it and let us know! I would but I don’t have the mix but would consider buying it from my local GH if I knew it was more convenient. I agree with you about Kodiak cakes…so convenient AND taste great!
I warmed up a banana with coconut oil this morning as part of my breakfast too! It’s been ages since I have and really it only takes 2 minutes to take your meal to a completely different level of amazingness!
Your pictures are ALWAYS sooooo gorgeous!! I just come by to look at them sometimes
). They always inspire my breakfast routine!! Happy blogging Kath!!
Did you know that the Biscoff spread was invented by a Belgian woman?
Ann (from BELGIUM
i had green tea this morning too! tazo refresh, yummy.
I am so happy that I found your blog! So impressed! I am a fellow RD/ food blogger (www.eat8020.com)/ runner! Keep up the great work!
Welcome! I’ll put you on my RD Me blogroll
I’ve always wanted to try Kodiak! Omgshhh this looks soo good!! and your description made me faint
It looks like a beautiful day around there~!! 
Haven’t tried Kodiak cakes yet….but I might just have to after reading your description
I made the Great Harvest pancakes last night for the first time (we had breakfast for dinner!). They were a big hit! I thought my older daughter would have an issue with them b/c they were ‘different’ than her normal pancakes, but she gobbled them right up. And my husband kept saying how good they were.
mmmmm pancakes!!
What is Biscoff spread? Is it like Nutella?
I’ve noticed that most of the mixes that call for egg, oil, etc. can be easily substituted with almond milk (or milk) and some kind of binder like pumpkin or apple sauce. Give it a try, I bet it would work with the GH mix.
Mmm I love pumpkin pancakes. I think I’m going to have to have them for breakfast tomorrow after seeing this post!
I passed on the Biscoff spread in San Francisco this summer due to transport home, but my local store just got it in. I tried it for the first time today on pumpkin oats – fabulous!
Everything in this breakfast keeeels me. Kodiak mix? Australia doesn’t have. Canned pumpkin? Australia doesn’t have. Biscoff? Australia doesn’t have. Bananas? Still $3.50 each.
but you have beautiful landscape!
And good wine!
Duh – of course you have Biscoff spread! Should have known before I tweeted the other day
I, however, and newly officially obsessed.
Those look so good! I have to get my hands on some kodiak. I love how everyone is already pumpkin crazy haha.
I have total breakfast envy! Looks delicious!
They carry Biscoff spread at my local grocery store in the big jars, but also in small single serve cups. It is soooooooo good that I had to cut myself off. I ate my first jar in 1 week, which is out of control. It’s just sooooo good. I was eating it by the spoonful every time I walked in the kitchen, eating Biscoff & jelly sandwiches, putting it in my oats, eating it on graham crackers and I even used it to make s’mores, which were DIVINE — best s’mores ever. Oh my gosh….I’m craving it right now. Maybe I should just buy some of the single servings…..
What a beautiful breakfast!
It looks like I’ll be able to find the Kodiak pancake mix at Fresh Market here. Which do you recommend? Whole wheat oat and Honey? Buttermilk and Honey? Thanks!
Gosh, I don’t know! I have the buttermilk now. It’s definitely a bit more sour. I don’t even remember what the original is like! I’d say get the orig. and then if you love it, try the buttermilk some other time
Pancakes look great. Thanks for sharing.
I think if we keep making pancakes and baking with PUMPKIN fall will eventually get here…I am getting tired of the disgustingly hot weather we have going on here Kath!
I came across Kodiak cakes the other day and I was curious but I just can’t seem to justify buying pancake mix these days…There is something about from-scratch cakes. Though from a convenience standpoint I am sure these are top notch!
LOVE pancakes!
I keep reading about the Biscoff spread. Smitten by these pancakes.
I would love if you added this and any other pumpkin themed links to my “Happy Post” today. http://su.pr/1rMDg2
