Storage

These protein pancakes recipes are all freezer friendly. I always put them on a baking dish and freeze them separately to avoid them sticking together, then they can be stored in small zip bags.

Usually, pancakes stay fresh for three months. In the fridge, you can keep them for a week and they are ready to eat every day for breakfast or just a snack. Just heat them on a toaster or microwave.

Another option is to have a make-ahead protein pancake batter in the fridge. Ready to use, whenever you want. Remember to put it in an air-tight container. When you want to cook them, just take them out of the fridge and leave them to reach room temperature. Then, they are ready to be poured onto your skillet and freshly made pancakes again! Batter can be 4 to 6 days in the fridge.
