Allergy-Friendly & Dietary Adaptations
Vegan Option: Replace the egg with 1 tbsp ground flaxseed or chia seeds mixed with 3 tbsp water (let sit for 5 min to form a gel). Use plant-based milk (almond, oat, soy) and dairy-free yogurt (coconut or soy-based).
Gluten-Free Option: Use chickpea flour, oat flour, or a gluten-free flour blend instead of regular flour.
Nut-Free Option: Ensure the plant-based milk and yogurt alternatives are nut-free (such as oat or soy milk).
Extra Protein Boost: Add a spoonful of chickpea flour or nutritional yeast to the batter for extra protein.
