# How to Make It:

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

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • Ready in 15 minutes flat, which means breakfast before your coffee gets cold.
  • Only three ingredients means no mysterious powders or substitutions hanging over your head.
  • High in protein, so you'll actually feel full until lunch instead of hunting for snacks by 10am.
  • Gluten-free and naturally grain-free without tasting like you're compromising.
02 -
  • Don't skip the smoothness step when mashing—lumpy batter is the reason these sometimes turn out dense instead of fluffy.
  • These cook faster than regular pancakes because there's no flour to absorb moisture; watch them closely the first time you make them.
  • The batter thickens as it sits, so cook immediately after whisking rather than letting it rest.
03 -
  • Prep your banana the night before by slicing and storing it in the fridge; it mashes faster and more smoothly when cold.
  • If the first pancake is thick and doesn't cook through, your skillet is too hot; lower the heat slightly and try again.
  • Double the batch and freeze extras; they reheat beautifully in a toaster and make future mornings even easier.
