Tips
If the batter feels thick, add a splash of milk.
For extra protein, add a tablespoon of Greek yogurt or protein powder.
Let the batter sit for 1 minute to thicken before cooking if you want fluffier pancakes.
Use a ripe banana for better sweetness and smoother blending.
Cook on medium heat so they don’t brown too fast.
