Notes

FAQ:

No, you don't. You can granulated sugar. It will still come out scrumptious.

You can use any plant-based milk. 
  • Don't have any Poopy Seeds, can I still make this recipe?
Yes! You can still make the pancakes. They will still come out scrumptious.

For best results use fine sea salt. Table salt works too!
