Tips

The bananas add sweetness to the pancakes. Thus, you should use ripe bananas that are soft to the touch and have brown spots on the peel. If you want your banana pancakes to be a little less sweet, simply use less ripe bananas. You can ripen the bananas faster by microwaving them at 10-15 seconds intervals until they soften. Just remember to let them cool before adding the bananas to the rest of the ingredients. If you prefer a less smooth texture to the pancakes, skip the blending and use a fork to mash and mix all the ingredients. The secret to light and fluffy pancakes is letting your pan heat up slowly. This will make it easier to control the temperature, and you do not have to adjust the heat constantly. Instead of making regular big banana pancakes, try making tiny ones. They look cute and make for a great little snack on the go.

Questions about banana pancakes

We have answered some of the most frequently asked questions about this sweet breakfast treat. Read below and become a banana pancake expert!

What is a banana pancake?
A banana pancake is a thin, flat cake baked golden on both sides. The round cake has a nice fluffy texture with a sweet banana flavour making it the perfect grab-and-go breakfast or a sweet snack during the day. Though it is entirely delicious on its own, you can savour the banana pancakes with a generous scoop of Skyr cream and fresh berries for a juicy burst.
How to make a banana pancake?
Make fluffy banana pancakes by blending oats, eggs, Skyr, baking powder and salt until the mixture is smooth. Fold in more oats and bake the pancakes on each side until they are golden. Serve the pancakes warm and topped with sweet and tart Skyr cream mixed with berries and vanilla sugar. For a final touch, decorate with honey and fresh raspberries and blueberries.
Can I freeze banana pancakes?
If you have leftover banana pancakes, stick them in the freezer and enjoy them later. Allow the pancakes to cool completely and place a piece of baking paper or waxed paper between each pancake. This will prevent them from sticking together. Transfer the pancakes to an airtight container or sealable freezer bag and put them in the freezer. They will keep well for up to 3 months if stored properly. When you are ready to enjoy the pancakes, thaw them in the fridge for a few hours or overnight or defrost them in the microwave on low power. Be careful not to heat them too long, or you will mess up the texture.
Can you freeze banana pancake batter?
To always be ready to make these sweet and delicious banana pancakes, make the batter and freeze it. Mix all the ingredients for the banana pancake batter and pour the batter into a freezer bag and allow some room for the mixture to expand when frozen. Freeze for up 1-2 months. Thaw the batter by placing the freezer bag in the fridge overnight. Alternatively, let it defrost under cold water; it will, however, take longer to defrost it that way.
