Ingredient Substitutions
- Flour: Use oat flour or almond flour for a gluten-free option.
- Cottage Cheese: Swap for Greek yogurt for a tangier flavor.
- Sweetener: Replace sugar with honey or maple syrup.
Storage & Reheating
- Storage: Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Reheating: Warm in a microwave for 30 seconds or heat in a non-stick pan over low heat.
Pro Tips & Techniques
- For extra fluffiness: Do not overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay.

- Even cooking: Use a non-stick pan and keep heat at medium to avoid burning.
Troubleshooting & Common Mistakes
- Batter too thick? Add 1–2 tablespoons of milk to adjust consistency.
- Pancakes sticking to the pan? Ensure the pan is well-greased and heated before pouring the batter.
- Filling too runny? Chill the cream mixture for 10 minutes before spreading.

- Vegan: Use almond milk, a flax egg (1 tbsp flaxseed + 3 tbsp water), and coconut whipped cream.
- Low-carb: Replace flour with almond flour and use a low-carb sweetener.
