# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Hot pancakes in under two minutes without dirtying a single pan or spatula
  • Perfectly portioned for those solo breakfast moments when a whole batch feels like too much
02 -
  • Every microwave is different so yours might need 10 seconds more or less, check after 75 seconds
  • Overmixing is the enemy of fluffy results, stop as soon as you don't see dry flour anymore
03 -
  • Spray your measuring spoon with oil before measuring the peanut butter so it slides right out
  • The pancake will deflate slightly as it cools and that's completely normal
