3-ingredient banana pancakes FAQ:

What is the cooking time for the banana pancakes?

Cook the pancakes for about 2 minutes on one side, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges set. Flip them carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

Can I substitute the self-raising flour?

Yes, you can substitute self-raising flour with all-purpose flour combined with 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder per tablespoon of flour. Make sure to mix it well to achieve the same fluffiness.

How do I know when the pancakes are done?

The pancakes are done when they are golden brown on both sides and cooked through. Look for bubbles on the surface and set edges before flipping.

What is the best way to store leftover pancakes?

Store any leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them in a microwave or skillet before serving.

Can I make these pancakes vegan?

To make these pancakes vegan, you can substitute the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water) and use a plant-based milk instead of the egg for added moisture.

Cooking Tips:

- Use a ripe banana for better sweetness and easier mashing.

- Ensure the batter is well-mixed to avoid lumps and achieve a smooth consistency.

- Cook the pancakes on medium heat to prevent burning and ensure an even cook.

- Use a non-stick pan or lightly grease the pan with cooking oil or butter to prevent the pancakes from sticking.
