Instructions

Preheat: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Mix the batter: Add all ingredients to a blender or mixing bowl and blend or whisk until smooth and evenly combined.
Cook: Scoop 1/4 cup of batter onto the heated skillet for each pancake. Cook for 3–4 minutes or until small bubbles form on the surface.
Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2–3 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Remove the pancakes and place on a wire rack to cool slightly. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve: Enjoy warm with toppings such as fresh fruit, nut butter, or extra Greek yogurt and a drizzle of honey.

Notes

For extra protein, use two whole eggs. These pancakes freeze well—simply reheat in a toaster or skillet. You can substitute almond flour for a gluten-free version (add a bit more if needed for thickness).
