Tips and Tricks:
Add Toppings Before Baking
Sprinkle toppings like berries, chocolate chips, or nuts on top of the batter before baking. This allows them to cook into the pancakes rather than just sitting on top.
Check for Doneness
The pancakes are done when they are golden brown on the edges and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Bake for about 18-20 minutes, but keep an eye on them as oven temperatures can vary.
Let Cool Slightly
Allow the pancakes to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before cutting. This helps them set and makes slicing easier.
Meal Prep For the Week
If you’re storing them for a quick breakfast during the week, let them cool completely, then place them in a container or freezer bag to make them easy to reheat during the week. You can also freeze them for up to a month—just reheat them in the oven or toaster.
Experiment with Flavors
Feel free to mix in different extracts (like almond or lemon) or spices (like cinnamon or pumpkin spice) to customize the flavor of your pancakes.
