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 🙂
Katie says
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.
KathEats says
About 1/3 a cup
Kate (What Kate is Cooking) says
I plan to make pumpkin pancakes every weekend! They’re the best. All yours need are some chocolate chips 🙂
Valerie @ City|Life|Eats says
These look fantastic. It is rainy here as well, and my green smoothie with cacao (minus ice) was still too cold for the day.
Kara says
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.
Ally at A Girl in her Kitchen says
Can I just say how excited I am about pumpkin?? And fall in general?? 🙂
Meredith @ Food, Shoes, and Booze says
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.
allpointswhole says
Rain, rain and more rain on the blogs this morning! Food looks great as always!
Shaya (Eye Girl Eats) says
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 😉
Victoria says
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!
KathEats says
Congrats!
Holly @ The Runny Egg says
Those pancakes looks delicious — and did you warm up the banana too?
KathEats says
Yup – cooked it on the skillet
Meg says
That’s such a genius idea – and so simple!
Lauren @ Lawfully Wedded Wife says
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.
Brittany @ Itty Bits of Balance says
Gah, looking at your p-cakes has officially made my tummy more than ready for breakfast #2 😀
Tine says
I looove biscoff spread (speculoospasta)!
Do they already sell the crunchy one in America? Super, with some little gingerbread chunks!
Ashley @ My Food 'N' Fitness Diaries says
Those cakes look amazing! Where can I find Kodiak cakes?
KathEats says
I think the best place is online – I haven’t seen them in stores yet
Lorin says
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.
Meg says
On the West Coast, they carry them at Fred Meyer too.
Lorin says
Oh cool,I’ve never heard of Fred Meyer, are there any California?
Kristina says
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.
Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife says
I need to get Kodiak cakes asap then! Hah 🙂
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
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!
Sweet and Savvy says
How perfect for a rainy morning!
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
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!
Cait's Plate says
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 🙂
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
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!
Emily says
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 🙂
Joanne says
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. 🙂
Maryea @ Happy Healthy Mama says
I seriously think I’m going to make pancakes for dinner because of this post. Perfect for this dark, dreary day!
Lindsay @ Lindsay's List says
nice play on words…I plan on it! Today is Henry’s 3rd birthday…which means CAKE and ICE CREAM!! 😉
Hilliary @ Happily Ever Healthy says
I am loving that it is now fall and pumpkin is everywhere!!
Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg says
It is a GREY day here too– grey and wet!! Pancakes are great for a rainy day!
Heather @ Get Healthy with Heather says
Now that’s a nice stack of cakes! I’d cozy up with em asap!
kathleen @ the daily crumb says
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!!
Khushboo says
Yummm is that coconut on top??
Katie @ Peace Love and Oats says
pumpkin pancakes?!? yes please! And I finally broke down and bout some chia seeds – SO worth the money! I’m in love!
Cait @ Beyond Bananas says
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!
Nikita says
I love how fat and doughy pumpkin makes pancakes! I have never tried kodiak mix but it does sound convenient.
lynn @ the actor's diet says
pumpkin pancakes and biscoff….droooooling
Meaghan O'Connor (My Spoonful of Inspiration) says
YUM! Pancake stacks make the prefect breakfast 🙂
Cat @Breakfast to Bed says
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.
deva (voracious vorilee) says
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!
Katie says
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
Namaste Gurl says
Yum- looks amazing. I *heart* fall 🙂
Julia says
I love Kodiak cakes!!! They sound great on a dull day like today =)
Aine @ Something to Chew Over says
Yum I love your pancake stacks!
Hope the weather clears up 🙂
Rosa - Fitness, Food, Fulfilled says
Mmm…pumpkin pancakes with syrup. I can’t wait to make some. I love how fluffy yours look, like magazine picture pancakes. Yum!
Lauren @ What Lauren Likes says
Yum! those nanners look amazing with the pancakes! 🙂
Angel7 says
I absolutely love soft and doughy pancakes–best breakfast!!!

Ohio is so cool today! 90 to 50 degrees in a day flat :/
I have Kodiak mix (thanks to your great product advertising 😉 ) and I can’t wait to make them with pumpkin! Great idea!
Hillary says
My goodness, those look HEAVENLY.
Nikki says
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?
KathEats says
That’s what Kodiaks have in them
Rachel says
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!
Gina @ Running to the Kitchen says
It was a perfect pancake morning with the rain. I opted for french toast with caramelized bananas though. Still delicious 🙂
Kristen Waby says
Those look fantastic! I love the little sprinkles of coconut on the top!
Tracy says
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!
katie @KatieDid says
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!
Katie @ The Purposeful Woman says
Your pictures are ALWAYS sooooo gorgeous!! I just come by to look at them sometimes :o). They always inspire my breakfast routine!! Happy blogging Kath!!
Ann says
Did you know that the Biscoff spread was invented by a Belgian woman?
Ann (from BELGIUM 🙂
amanda says
i had green tea this morning too! tazo refresh, yummy.
Lindsay Kay says
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!
KathEats says
Welcome! I’ll put you on my RD Me blogroll 🙂
[email protected] says
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~!! 🙂
Sandy says
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.
Ashley @ Coffee Cake and Cardio says
mmmmm pancakes!!
What is Biscoff spread? Is it like Nutella?
Lauren says
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.
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
Mmm I love pumpkin pancakes. I think I’m going to have to have them for breakfast tomorrow after seeing this post!
Mary says
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!
Hannah says
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. 🙁
KathEats says
but you have beautiful landscape!
KathEats says
And good wine!
Hannah says
🙂 Okay, okay, I’ll look on the bright side… and wallabies and chocolate bilbies and eucalyptus trees and ME. 😉
Juliette @ Finish Your Broccoli says
Duh – of course you have Biscoff spread! Should have known before I tweeted the other day 🙂 I, however, and newly officially obsessed.
Katie @ Plates and Paste says
Those look so good! I have to get my hands on some kodiak. I love how everyone is already pumpkin crazy haha.
Ari @ Ari's Menu says
I have total breakfast envy! Looks delicious!
Christena says
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…..
Jessy (squeezetheday) says
What a beautiful breakfast!
sonya says
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!
KathEats says
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
John says
Pancakes look great. Thanks for sharing.
Katie @ Real Food Katie's Way says
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!
michelle says
LOVE pancakes!
marla says
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
