Notes
Serve these pancakes warm, topped with maple syrup, fresh fruits, or a dollop of whipped cream. For a fun twist, sprinkle chocolate chips or nuts into the batter before cooking. Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
