  • 3 large eggs room temperature works best
  • ⅓ cup oat flour or almond flour for gluten-free
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder for fluffiness
  • ¼ teaspoon salt enhances all flavors

  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon optional,adds warmth
  • 1 tablespoon honey optional,or stevia to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter or oil for cooking the pancakes

Instructions

    blend everything smoot
  • Heat non-stick pan over medium heat. Add butter or oil to prevent sticking. Test with a drop of batter - it should sizzle gently. Don't use high heat or pancakes will burn.
    get your pan ready
  • Pour batter to make 3-4 inch pancakes. Wait for bubbles to form on surface before flipping. Flip once when edges look set. Cook other side 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
