Recipe FAQ

→ How do I keep pancakes fluffy?

Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes before cooking to hydrate the flour and activate leavening, resulting in fluffier pancakes.

→ Can I substitute whole wheat flour?

Yes, replacing half the all-purpose flour with whole wheat adds fiber and a nutty flavor without sacrificing texture.

→ What is the best way to cook these pancakes?

Use a nonstick skillet or griddle heated over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter, and cook pancakes until bubbles form on the surface before flipping for even browning.

→ How can I add more flavor to the batter?

Incorporate a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to enhance the warm, comforting notes alongside banana and vanilla.

→ Are toasted nuts recommended as a topping?

Toasted pecans or walnuts add a crunchy contrast and rich nutty flavor, complementing the softness of the pancakes.
