- 3 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil

- Pour the wet mixture into the well of dry ingredients.
- Gently stir the mixture until just combined, keeping the batter slightly lumpy for fluffiness.
- Preheat a griddle or frying pan to 250°F (120°C) and lightly grease it with oil.

- Cook until the edges appear dry and bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until fully done on the other side.
- Serve warm with butter, syrup, or festive toppings.

For a brighter green color, adjust the food coloring as desired.
These pancakes are best served warm, topped with your favorite syrup or fresh fruit.
For a fun twist, consider adding chocolate chips or nuts to the batter.
