Notes

This is a perfect base recipe for pancakes and then feel free to get creative with different flavours and toppings. You could add smooth peanut butter or smooth almond butter into the batter, or try adding in some unsweetened shredded coconut or lemon zest. For toppings, you could add a little bit of maple syrup, some berries (fresh or frozen), or a dollop of Greek yogurt!
