Notes
If your pancakes are burning within 4 minutes, the heat is too high.
If the pan is smoky, the heat is too high.
For best results, wipe the pan out every other batch.
For a vegan version of this recipe, swap the eggs for flax eggs (1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water per egg).
To make these pancakes even more nutrient-dense, add in some chia seeds, hemp seeds, or chopped nuts.
You can make a big batch of these pancakes and freeze them for later. To reheat, simply pop them in the toaster or microwave. These pancakes are delicious on their own, but you can also top them with some fresh fruit, nut butter, or maple syrup.
