  • 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract A touch of vanilla enhances the flavor, making the pancakes taste even better.
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt Salt balances the sweetness and enhances the overall flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon sweetener of choice You can use honey, maple syrup, or a sugar substitute like erythritol to add sweetness.
  • as needed tablespoon butter or oil for cooking A small amount of butter or oil is needed to prevent the pancakes from sticking to the skillet.
