Notes
- Use a non-stick pan – This ensures even cooking and easy flipping.
- Let the batter rest – Allowing the batter to sit for 10 minutes results in fluffier pancakes.
- Use ripe bananas – The riper, the better! Overripe bananas add natural sweetness and moisture.
- Don’t overmix the batter – Overmixing can make the pancakes dense instead of fluffy.
- Customize to your liking – Add fresh berries, almonds, nutella or even a drizzle of honey for extra flavour!
