- Add chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts) for extra crunch.
- Try swapping apple pie spice for cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice if that’s what you have.

Storing Instructions
Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the toaster, oven, or skillet to keep them fluffy (avoid the microwave if you can—it makes them soggy).
You can also freeze them! Just layer parchment paper between pancakes, store in a freezer bag, and reheat in the toaster or oven straight from frozen.
