Can I use any type of banana for the pancakes?
Absolutely Ripe bananas work best for this recipe as they add natural sweetness and moisture The riper the banana the sweeter your pancakes will be If you have overripe bananas lying around they’re perfect for this recipe.
Can I make the batter ahead of time?
While it’s best to cook the pancakes right after preparing the batter for optimal fluffiness you can make the batter in advance Keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a day Just give it a gentle stir before using as the mixture might settle during storage.
Can I substitute the all-purpose flour with a healthier alternative?
Definitely If you’re looking for a healthier twist you can substitute part or all of the all purpose flour with whole wheat flour oat flour or a gluten free flour blend Keep in mind that using different flours might slightly alter the texture and flavor of the pancakes so don’t be afraid to experiment to find your perfect blend.
