Variations
Don't worry if you have dietary restrictions, we've got you covered! 💚
Gluten-Free: Simply use certified gluten-free rice or corn flour. The texture remains light and fluffy.
Vegan: Substitute eggs with a vegan egg replacement, such as flax eggs (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water, let sit for a few minutes). The bananas provide ample binding, so the consistency will be just right. 🌱
Faq
- Can I make the batter ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just give it a good stir before cooking!
- Can I freeze the pancakes?
Absolutely! Let them cool completely, then layer between parchment paper and store in a zip-top bag. They reheat well in the microwave or toaster.
- How can I ensure my pancakes are evenly cooked?
Preheat your skillet on medium heat and maintain consistent heat throughout. When bubbles start forming and edges look set, it's time to flip!
- What can I use if I don't have a non-stick skillet?
A well-seasoned cast-iron skillet will work just as well. Ensure it's properly heated to prevent sticking.
- Can I add extras like chocolate chips or nuts?
Yes, feel free to customize your pancakes! Fold in your extras gently to keep the batter fluffy.
- Why are my pancakes sticking to the skillet?
This might be due to inadequate heating or a lack of lubrication. Ensure your skillet is preheated, and consider a light spray of non-stick cooking spray or a brush of oil.
