Notes
Storage Directions
- Refrigeration: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Reheating: Reheat pancakes in the microwave for 30 seconds or until heated through.
- Freezing: Store pancakes in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two months. Thaw pancakes in the refrigerator overnight or microwave them until they’re heated.
- Gluten-Free: To make gluten-free pancakes, use gluten-free flour such as a 1:1 baking blend or oat flour.
- Let the Batter Rest: Allow the batter to sit for 10 minutes before using.
- Make Uniform Pancakes: For equal-sized pancakes, use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to scoop the pancakes onto the skillet.
- Protein Powder: When choosing a protein powder, look for one that’s organic, has no artificial colors or flavors added, is low in sugar (or uses monk fruit or stevia as a sweetener), and has 20 grams of protein per serving.
