Tips & Variations
Fluffier Pancakes? – Add a little extra baking powder or a splash of sparkling water to make your pancakes even fluffier.
Vegan Option? – Swap the eggs for a flaxseed egg (1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 3 tbsp water) and use a plant-based protein powder for a completely vegan version.
Sweeten the Deal? – Drizzle with honey, maple syrup, or agave for a touch of sweetness.
Berry Good? – Mix in your favourite berries, like raspberries or strawberries, directly into the batter for extra fruity flavour.
Extra Creamy? – Add a dollop of Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt as a topping for added creaminess and protein.
Meal Prep Friendly? – Make the pancakes in advance, stack them with parchment paper in between, and store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop before serving.
