Notes

⏰ For best texture, soak pancakes overnight; minimum 2 hours if short on time.
🫐 Frozen blueberries work well but may need 5 extra minutes baking time.
🍫 Substitute blueberries with bananas, raspberries, or chocolate chips for variety.
🧊 Leftovers store in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in the microwave.
❄️ To freeze, bake then cool completely, wrap tightly, freeze up to 2 months, thaw overnight, and reheat at 350Β°F for 30 minutes.
