# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They come together in literally five minutes, which means breakfast happens even on chaotic mornings
  • The texture is surprisingly fluffy and light, nothing like the dense, rubbery protein pancakes you might have tried before
02 -
  • The batter will seem much thinner than regular pancake batter, and that is exactly right—do not try to thicken it with more protein powder
  • These pancakes do not keep or reheat well, so commit to eating them fresh or accept that the texture will change dramatically
03 -
  • Add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract to the batter for a more complex flavor profile
  • Double the recipe and store extra batter in the refrigerator for up to one day, though it may thin slightly
