Quarantine this year made Easter a little difficult since everyone has to social distance. So, to make things a little better I made some guava pancakes topped with guava syrup. And let me tell you it made being away from everyone a little easier. These pancakes came out so fluffy and delicious.
If you are missing a few pounds to finally gain that COVID 19lb, this is the best way to do so. The guava syrup is just the perfect amount of sweetness, that makes you want to keep eating these pancakes until you can’t no more. And the best part of the syrup is that it’s good for up to a week if stored in the fridge. So, pancakes every day!!! YAY!
The key to making them is making sure you sift all the ingredients before mixing them so that the pancakes come out fluffy. After that, you just stir, pour, cook, and eat. I hope you enjoy! Let me know what you think in the comments below!
