Notes

For a healthier version, use whole wheat flour or oat flour.
Add diced fruit for extra nutrients and natural sweetness.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Freeze up to 2 months; reheat in the microwave or air fryer.
Do not overbake, or they may dry out.
Batter should remain slightly lumpy for the fluffiest texture.
Great for kids’ lunchboxes or quick grab-and-go breakfasts.
