Notes

For fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest for 5 10 minutes before cooking. Substitute whole wheat flour for half the flour for extra fiber. Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for additional flavor. Pair with a light sparkling wine or fresh orange juice for brunch.

Recipe Q&A

→ What makes these pancakes fluffy?

The combination of baking powder, baking soda, and letting the batter rest helps create a light, airy texture in the pancakes.

→ Can I substitute the bananas with another fruit?

While bananas provide moisture and sweetness, mashed applesauce or grated zucchini can be used as alternatives, though texture will vary.

→ How do I prevent pancakes from sticking to the skillet?

Lightly greasing a nonstick skillet or griddle with butter before cooking prevents sticking and helps achieve a golden crust.

→ Are toasted nuts necessary for serving?

Toasted pecans or walnuts add a pleasant crunch and flavor but are optional based on preference or dietary needs.

→ Can I make these pancakes ahead of time?

Pancakes are best served fresh but can be kept warm in a low oven briefly. Leftovers freeze well for quick reheating.
