How to make Pancakes out of (almost) Anything

flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk reduces calories and is dairy-free.

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil is a healthier fat alternative.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey offers natural sweetness with added flavor.

Weigh 2 eggs, which came out to 101 grams.

Add 2 parts of milk and 1/2 part of melted butter to the eggs.

In a separate bowl, add 2 parts of flour and 5 grams of baking powder.

Add 2 tablespoons of sugar, a little bit of salt, and a dash of cinnamon to the dry ingredients.

Add a couple drops of vanilla to the wet ingredients.

Whisk the wet and mix the dry separately, then combine them until just combined.

Cook the pancakes on a greased griddle and serve with syrup.

For a variation, substitute yogurt and water for milk and use vegetable oil instead of butter.

For the final variation, pulse crushed saltine crackers in a food processor and use them instead of flour, keeping the egg and butter the same.
