  • When selecting milk, opt for a higher fat content for a richer flavor.
  • When selecting butter, use unsalted butter for more control over the overall salt content.

  • Substitute almond milk for cow's milk for a dairy-free option. This will make the pancakes vegan and provide a nutty flavor.
  • Substitute coconut oil for butter for a healthier option. This will lower the saturated fat content of the pancakes.

Banana Walnut Pancakes Add 1/2 cup of mashed ripe banana and 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts to the batter before cooking.
