Cook on a hot greased griddle for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. (The batter will be thin, but they will puff up and be perfectly light and tender!). Do not pat pancakes down with a spatula while cooking.

I made these this morning- added a scoop of protein powder. So delicious! Going to keep as my regular pancake recipe.
Batter too thin and didn’t fluff up, followed directions to the T
These are AMAZING! They were extremely light and fluffy and so easy to make. My family absolutely loved them. We threw away the current pancake recipe and this is now our favorite go to pancake. Thank you! 🙂
Absolutely delicious and perfect!!! Very light and fluffy! Love, love, love!! My go to pancake recipe now. I made a fresh blueberry compote to go with them. It all made for a healthy and very filling weekend brunch.
Bless you. 💕💕
These are super fast and my family loves them.
Outstanding recipe!!!! It worked out really well for me.
These are delicious! A lighter, healthier recipe for pancakes that doesn’t leave you feeling like you ate a brick. I used coconut almond milk and added a sprinkle of cinnamon.
