💡 Chef tips
- Use very ripe, spotted bananas for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
- You can freeze leftover pancakes between layers of parchment paper for up to one month; reheat them in a toaster or microwave.
- If the batter seems too thick, add an extra tablespoon of milk to reach your desired consistency.
✅ How it should turn out
The finished pancakes should be golden brown, light and fluffy with a soft, moist interior that smells fragrant with warm cinnamon and sweet banana.
