FAQs
Can I use instant oats instead of rolled oats?
Yes, but the texture might be different. Rolled oats create a heartier texture.
Can I make this recipe vegan?
Yes! You can replace eggs with flaxseed meal mixed with water and use a plant-based milk for a vegan-friendly option.
How can I make these pancakes extra fluffy?
Make sure to mix the ingredients gently, just enough to combine. Overmixing can make the pancakes dense. Additionally, you can add an extra egg white for more fluffiness.
