Helpful tips
The batter thickens up the longer it sits, so if you want thicker, fluffy pancakes, just let it sit in the blender for a minute or two before adding it to the pan.
If the batter has been sitting in the blender for a while, it will be hard to pour it out because it thickens. Just blend it up again for a few seconds and it should be good to go.
Make sure to let your pan heat up before putting the batter on. And always make sure you put enough oil on the pan so they won’t stick.
How to keep pancakes warm
If you want to make pancakes ahead of time, it’s easy to keep them warm by setting your oven to 200 degrees fahrenheit. Then place the pancakes on an oven safe platter or plate and keep them in the oven until ready to serve.
You can also put them in a bowl with a lid, but they tend to get soggy this way.

How to freeze pancakes
Pancakes are a great thing to meal prep ahead of time and freeze. Then you have a quick breakfast on hand for busy mornings.
If you’d like more than 10 small pancakes, just double the recipe. Then cook up your pancakes.
Let the pancakes cool. Grab some parchment paper.
Stack the pancakes, and place the parchment paper in between each pancake to make sure they don’t freeze together. Place them in a freezer friendly resealable bag.
How to reheat pancakes
There’s no need to thaw out the frozen pancakes. You can reheat them three different ways:
In the microwave
Place frozen or cold pancakes in the microwave for about 20 seconds for one pancake and 60 seconds for 5 pancakes. This makes the pancakes fluffy and soft.
In a toaster
Place pancakes in the toaster and make sure to keep an eye on them that they don’t crispy up or burn. This is the least ideal method to warm up pancakes, but it works.
In the oven
Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees and place the pancakes on a baking sheet. Let them bake for about 10 minutes.
