Notes
To make these pancakes even healthier, consider using whole wheat flour or substituting part of the flour with oats.
These pancakes can also be frozen and reheated for quick breakfasts on busy mornings. Simply stack them with parchment paper in between and freeze in an airtight container.
Feel free to add mix-ins such as blueberries or chocolate chips for a sweet twist.
