Weekly Meal Prep Tips:
• This is a great recipe to double up on. Make two batches so you
have 4 breakfasts ready at your fingertips!
• Pre-mix all the dry ingredients (minus the ¼ tsp. cinnamon) and
store in a tightly sealed jar if you plan to make them during the
week.
• Extra pancakes can be wrapped in aluminum foil or plastic wrap
and stored in the refrigerator (for 3–4 days) or frozen.
Last-Minute Prep:
• If you’ve already made your pancakes and put them in the
freezer, remember to thaw them in the fridge the night before. If
you forget this step it’s fine to microwave frozen pancakes. |
