Pro Tips for Success:

  • Make It Vegan: Swap the egg with a flaxseed egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water) and use almond milk instead of oat milk for a dairy-free version.

  • Customize the Spice: Adjust the cinnamon, nutmeg, or cocoa to your taste. Add a pinch of ginger or cloves for an extra kick of holiday flavor.

  • Add a Topping Twist: Try topping your pancakes with whipped cream, candied ginger, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for an extra festive flair!
