The full story
Everything to know about Kodiak Cakes
Kodiak traces its breakfast mixes to a family flapjack recipe. In the company's account, eight-year-old Joel Clark went door to door in 1982 with a red wagon, selling bags of his grandfather's mix. That family recipe is the starting point of the brand's official history.
Clark brought Kodiak Cakes to Season 5 of Shark Tank, asking for $500,000 for 10% of the company. The pitch ended without an accepted deal.

Where Kodiak Cakes is now
Kodiak's current catalog goes beyond pancake and waffle mixes. It includes oatmeal, frozen breakfast products, baking mixes and snack bars. The official website has online shopping and a store finder for checking where to look locally.
The wider range gives you different ways to use the brand: a mix to cook, oatmeal to prepare or a packaged snack. Ingredients and serving sizes differ by product, so compare the label for the particular flavor and format you plan to buy.

The Amazon button on this page opens a product listing, so check its product name, flavor, pack count and delivery estimate against the item you want. For ingredients and allergens, use the label for that exact product. Kodiak says the allergen statement sits below the ingredient list on its packaging; a whole-grain or protein claim doesn't tell you which allergens a product contains.
