03 - Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Lightly grease if desired.
04 - Pour approximately 2 tablespoons of batter per pancake onto skillet, forming rounds about 3 inches wide.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Made with just two ingredients, so ridiculously simple that even a rushed morning feels manageable.
  • Naturally sweet from the banana means no added sugar needed, and they taste indulgent despite being genuinely wholesome.
  • Naturally gluten-free and dairy-free without feeling like a compromise or tasting like one.
  • Ready in fifteen minutes from bowl to plate, which beats any store-bought alternative.
02 -
  • The heat matters more than you'd think—medium-low prevents that burnt exterior and raw center problem that ruins everything.
  • Resist the urge to flip early; waiting for those bubbles to form on top is what keeps them from falling apart in the pan.
  • These pancakes are delicate because they lack gluten structure, so a thin spatula and a gentle hand are worth their weight in gold.
03 -
  • For extra flavor depth without complication, a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of vanilla extract transforms these from simple to memorable.
  • If you accidentally make too many, they actually freeze well in a single layer, and reheating in the toaster brings back that soft texture better than the microwave.
