# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - In a medium bowl, mash the banana until smooth.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • Just three ingredients means no complicated shopping trips or ingredient guilt.
  • Ready in 15 minutes total, making it perfect for mornings when you're hungry and impatient.
  • High protein content keeps you satisfied way longer than regular pancakes.
  • Naturally gluten-free without any special ingredients or adjustments needed.
02 -
  • The banana must be ripe—I once used an underripe one out of stubbornness and the batter stayed grainy and the pancakes came out tough.
  • Don't flip too early or too many times; let the bottom set completely or they'll tear and fall apart in the pan.
  • The batter is thinner than you expect but that's correct; thicker batter makes dense, rubbery pancakes.
03 -
  • Use chocolate or coffee-flavored protein powder for a totally different but equally delicious pancake experience.
  • If your batter is too thick after mixing, add a tablespoon of milk—sometimes bananas vary in water content and tiny adjustments make all the difference.
