Notes

Store & Reheat

Most of the time, I recommend enjoying your pancakes right away for the best results. However, you can store both the batter and the pancakes. You can even meal prep these pancakes for the week by freezing them and then reheating them in the toaster!

Store

Fridge: Transfer the batter to a large glass storage container with an airtight lid. Store in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can also store pancakes in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Freezer: You can freeze the pancakes for up to 2 months by placing them on a baking sheet and placing them in the freezer to freeze for 1 hour before transferring them to an airtight bag. This will ensure they won't stick together when freezing.

Reheat

Stovetop: Reheat the thawed pancakes in a lightly greased pan on medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes per side.

Oven: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, place pancakes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake for 3-4 minutes or until heated through.

Toaster: Place your frozen pancakes directly into the toaster and toast until thawed through the center and toasty on the outside.*

* Total time depends on your toaster and its settings.
