For nut-free pancakes, substitute soy or rice milk for almond milk. To make gluten-free pancakes, replace whole wheat flour with oat flour or a gluten-free all-purpose blend. For extra flavor, add a dash of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the batter. Don't overcrowd the griddle. Cook pancakes in batches to maintain even heat distribution. Adjust the amount of almond milk to achieve your desired batter consistency.
