Variations

• •

  Add a scoop of protein powder for an extra 20 g protein per serving.

• •

  Mix in mashed banana for natural sweetness without added sugar.

• •

  Vegetarian: swap the protein for roasted king oyster mushrooms, smoked tofu or cooked chickpeas — adjust seasoning slightly upward to compensate.

• •

  Spicier: add a finely chopped fresh chile or a teaspoon of crushed Aleppo/Urfa pepper to the aromatics for warm, layered heat instead of a single sharp hit.

Storage

Refrigerate cooked pancakes up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster or dry pan. Freeze in a single layer for up to 1 month.
