# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Three ingredients, five minutes of prep, and you've got pancakes that actually taste indulgent while keeping your protein goals on track.
  • No flour means no mess, no special equipment beyond what you already have, and no guilt about what's going into your body.
02 -
  • The batter thickens significantly if you let it sit for more than a minute, so cook as you go or add a splash of water to loosen it back up.
  • Flipping matters more than you'd think—wait for those bubbles or you'll end up with a wet center that never quite sets.
03 -
  • The difference between fluffy and dense pancakes comes down to whisking—don't skip that step or rush through it.
  • If your batter seems too thick, a tablespoon of milk or water brings it back to life without compromising the result.
