- While the dough for your avocado pancakes rests for about 5 minutes, heat and brush a nonstick skillet with oil.
- Lower the heat to medium and pour spoonful’s of your preparation over the pan, creating the pancakes of the desired size and shape. For example, you can make a single large pancake, several small ones, in the shape of a heart, moons, stars, etc.
- Have fun! Then, when they start to bubble, carefully flip them over and cook the other side. They will need approximately 1-2 minutes on each side.
