Notes

Scroll up to see substitution options. Nutrition information is an estimate and may vary based on ingredients used.
Note: if you want to up the protein a little, instead of ½ of milk try using ¼ cup milk + ¼ cup blended cottage cheese or Greek yogurt into the batter! You can blend all the ingredients together to make it smoother. Or add 1 more egg and use ⅓ cup of milk!
