Notes

  • Storage: Leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
  • Freezing: For longer storage, freeze individual pancakes between layers of parchment paper. They can be reheated in the toaster or microwave.
  • Syrup Alternatives: Instead of syrup, try drizzling with honey, maple syrup, or even yogurt for a healthier option.
  • Add Nuts: Toss in some chopped walnuts or pecans for an added crunch and healthy fats.
  • Flavor Additions: Experiment with spices like cinnamon or nutmeg to elevate the flavors of your pancakes.
