Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together in a bowl.
- Place 1/4 cup of batter onto a preheated griddle.
- Cook until golden brown on each side.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking. If you prefer a sweeter pancake, consider adding a mashed ripe banana or a dash of vanilla extract. You can substitute the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour or a gluten-free blend for different dietary needs. Remember, cooking on medium heat ensures even cooking without burning.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these pancakes warm with a drizzle of maple syrup or a dollop of fresh fruit on top. They pair excellently with yogurt or a side of sautéed apples for added flavor. For a delightful brunch, consider serving them alongside a fruit salad or even a slice of Fay'S Coconut Cream Pie for dessert.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply pop them in the toaster or microwave for a quick warm-up. For longer storage, freeze them in layers separated by parchment paper, then place in a freezer bag for up to 2 months.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these pancakes vegan?
Yes, you can make these pancakes vegan by replacing the egg with a flax egg or a banana. Use non-dairy milk, such as almond or oat milk, and ensure the applesauce is unsweetened for the best results.
How can I make these pancakes fluffier?
To achieve fluffier pancakes, separate the egg and beat the egg white until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it back into the batter. Additionally, avoid overmixing the batter to keep the pancakes light and airy.
What can I add to the batter for more flavor?
You can enhance the flavor by adding spices like cinnamon or nutmeg. Chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or berries can also be mixed in for a tasty twist, making them a delightful breakfast option.
