Notes
- The kind of protein matters and will affect the taste and texture of the pancakes.
- If you can’t portion all of the batter into the pan at once, you’ll want to add 1 more tbs of almond milk to the second batch of better. The batter thickens like crazy while it sits so without the milk your pancakes will be super dense.
- You can store leftover pancakes in the fridge in a container. They work well for meal prep as you can pop them into the toasted for a minute or so the next day to heat them.
- I haven’t tried freezing them yet but if you do make sure to separate them between pieces of parchment paper.
- Makes 6 pancakes with each serving being three.
