I've done it. I've mastered the art of cooking delicious, fluffy, and macro-friendly pancakes. They're perfect for weekend mornings with a large cup of coffee in hand!

1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp agave nectar, honey, or coconut sugar
1/3 cup almond milk
1 tsp coconut oil
Directions:
1. Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until fluffy (DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP- This helps create a fluffy pancake).
3. Combine all ingredients together, except coconut oil.
4. Melt coconut oil in a skillet.
5. Pour batter into skillet, making about 3-4 pancakes.
6. Cook on medium heat and cover with lid.
