Recipe Variations
Here are some of my top tips for making these two-ingredient banana pancakes:

- Chocolate lovers: Stir in a handful of mini chocolate chips or drizzle pancakes with melted dark chocolate.
Frequently asked questions
Why do my banana pancakes fall apart?
If you find that your pancakes are falling apart, you may not have mashed the banana enough. Make sure the bananas are mashed up nice and smooth so you get the perfect texture.
Are these pancakes healthy?
Yes! They’re packed with protein, healthy fats, potassium and they’re also gluten-free and dairy-free.
How do you keep them from burning?
Make sure you don't have the burner set too high. Cook them over medium heat (or even medium low heat) for 3-4 minutes per side, until they're golden brown. Then, use a thin spatula to carefully flip them over.

How to store and reheat
Storing: Once the pancakes have cooled completely, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 to 3 days. Keep them plain without toppings for easy reheating.
Reheating: Enjoy them cold or warm them in the microwave for about 1 minute until heated through.
Freezing cooked pancakes: Let the pancakes cool completely, then place a square of wax paper between each one to prevent sticking. Freeze in an airtight container or Ziploc bag for up to 2 months. Defrost in the fridge overnight and reheat.
Freezing batter: Pour the batter into a Ziploc bag, leaving some room for expansion. Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge or under cold running water. Once thawed, cook as usual.

How many eggs how many bananas and how ripe should bananas be

It’s listed in the recipe card. I think you scrolled past it.

I would like to bring these on an airplane, how long do you think I could keep them at room temperature for?
Taylor Stinson says
I’m not comfortable giving an answer on that as much as I’d like to help. I would recommend looking up official food safety and internal temperature guidelines to see what would be the safest option.
