Chef notes
Use very ripe bananas with brown spots for natural sweetness. Don't overmix the batter - small lumps are okay and create fluffy pancakes.
Substitutions
- Oats: Use gluten-free certified oats for celiac-friendly version
- Eggs: 2 tablespoons flax meal + 6 tablespoons water per egg for vegan option
- Milk: Any plant-based milk works great
Serving suggestions
Top with fresh berries, sliced bananas, maple syrup, or nut butter. Perfect with a glass of cold milk or fresh orange juice.
Storage
