Notes
- Customization: Feel free to customize your pancake bites by adding ingredients like mashed bananas, blueberries, or even bacon for a savory version.
- Storage: Pancake Bites can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 1 month and reheat as needed.
- Batter Consistency: If the batter seems too thick, you can add a little more milk to reach your desired consistency. Pancake Bites require a thicker batter than regular pancakes to hold their shape.
- Make It Vegan or Gluten-Free: Substitute plant-based milk and eggs with flax eggs (1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water per egg) and use gluten-free flour to make these bites suitable for dietary preferences.
