Notes
- If you have the time, let the pancaked mixture rest for 5 minutes before using. This helps to give a smoother more uniform texture and makes fluffier pancakes.
- Use minimal butter in the pan to cook the pancakes, as they are not meant to be fried. We wipe some on the pan with a paper towel.
- Serve these pancakes with yogurt, honey and banana slices.
- Add a little extra crunch to these pancakes with a sprinkle of granola.
- If you love chocolate, then mix some chocolate chips in to the pancake batter.
- Make these pancakes lighter by swapping the flour for ground up oat flour, but it would make them more dense.
- Save yourself some time when making these by adding all the ingredients to a food processor and whizzing them up. They will be a bit more rubbery if doing it that way though.
