When using a cooking pan I swear by the green pan. It’s free of PFAS, PFOA, lead, and cadmium. It will never release toxic fumes. You won’t regret it!
Pancake topping ideas
Here are a few topping ideas for you to try:
- Nuts: Top these pancakes with pecans, walnuts, or raisins. They add a crunch to the dish and offer more nutrients.
- Maple syrup: Pancakes and maple syrup is a pair made in heaven. You simply can’t miss out on it! You can also use honey or any flavored syrup like chocolate or caramel.
- Flavored Greek or coconut yogurt: Add a dollop of Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt for a creamy texture. You can use whipped cream as well.
- Berries: Adding fresh berries such as strawberries or blueberries bring in a refreshingly sweet and slightly tart flavor.
- Spices: Dust these pancakes with pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon powder for warmth.
Can you freeze these pancakes?
Although you can store the leftover batter for up to a day, I have a better way of storing it. You can make pancakes, let them cool down, and place them on a baking tray. Flash freeze them for an hour and stack them in an air-tight container placing a baking sheet between each pancake. Freeze the pancakes for up to 3 months. It is a super convenient way of storing the pancakes and saves you tons of preparation time.
You can reheat the pancakes in the microwave until they are warm and fluffy again.
