Serving: Serve warm with maple syrup, honey, fresh fruit, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar. For added indulgence, try whipped cream or nut butter.

Gluten-Free Pancakes: Use a gluten-free flour blend in place of regular flour.
Banana Pancakes: Mash one ripe banana and mix it into the wet ingredients for natural sweetness and flavor.
Chocolate Chip Pancakes: Sprinkle chocolate chips onto the batter right after pouring it onto the skillet.
Protein Pancakes: Add a scoop of your favorite protein powder to the batter, adjusting the liquid as needed.
FAQ:

Q: Why are my pancakes not fluffy?
A: Overmixing the batter can cause the pancakes to be dense. Mix just until combined, leaving some lumps in the batter.

Q: Can I make the batter ahead of time?
A: It’s best to make pancake batter fresh, but if needed, you can prepare it up to 12 hours in advance. Store in the fridge and give it a gentle stir before cooking.

Q: Can I make pancakes without eggs?
A: Yes! Replace the egg with ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce or 1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tbsp water.
