Notes
I personally LOVED these pancakes as a pre-training meal on my birthday served with thawed cherries out of my freezer, hemp hearts, a very light drizzle of raw honey and a bit of banana chopped in chunks over top.
*Monk fruit sweetener is a zero calorie alternative that doesn’t have the distinct/funky aftertastes of other options. This may be substituted for maple or raw honey.
