Storage Instructions

You can even freeze these pancakes. Place cooled pancakes in a freezer-safe ziplock bag, remove excess air, seal, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw frozen pancakes in the refrigerator overnight and then heat in the microwave when ready to eat.

Notes and Tips
Use bananas that have started to brown. They will be softer and sweeter.
If your pancakes are burning within 4 minutes, the heat is too high. If the pan is smoky, the heat is too high.
For best results, wipe the pan out every other batch.
Feel free to add chocolate chips, toasted nuts (chopped), raisins, blueberries, etc. to the batter after it has been mixed. To have the mix-ins better distributed, pour a little bit of batter into the pan and then sprinkle your mix-ins over it before adding more batter.
