Serving these delightful banana pancakes can be an art in itself. 🍽️

For a Classic Touch: Top them with a drizzle of pure maple syrup and a dollop of whipped cream. Add some sliced fresh fruit like strawberries or blueberries for extra freshness.

Looking for Nutty Goodness? Spread a layer of almond or peanut butter on each pancake. Sprinkle some chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for that delightful crunch.

Go Tropical: Serve your pancakes with a sprinkle of shredded coconut and a few pineapple chunks. A hint of lime zest can bring a zesty freshness to your plate. 🥥🍍

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.
