These are so sweet and delicious! Easy to prepare too. I made the first pancake too big and it was hard to flip, so smaller the better. Also, I am going to try to omit the honey next time and see if they still maintain the sweetness with the bananas. I highly recommend as a breakfast for kids too.
Love, love, love this recipe. I make these pancakes by the double batch and freeze them. It’s a great way to use up ripe bananas and the pancakes heat up perfectly. I really appreciate the fact that they hold together so well: no crumbling or disintegration – even when they’ve been frozen. Sometimes I eat these for breakfast with lactose-free yogurt and sliced bananas. I haven’t made the strawberry syrup – if I used strawberries, I just thaw them and pour the berries and juice right on the pancakes.
Is there any substitutes for eggs in backing? I’m suppose to avoid those too, and its hard because Flax in in the low FODMAP section…. thanks!
I don’t have a good egg substitute I am sorry to say. Anyone else have any good ideas?
It smells amazing while cooking. Unfortunately, I must have done something wrong as I can’t flip them without them breaking and crumbling. Sad because I was going to freeze the leftovers and use them as breakfast on the days I work
Mmmm not sure what you did but the key is definitely to use plenty of oil when cooking so they don’t stick to the pan
Samantha, am I supposed to slice or mash the 2 ripe bananas? I am just getting started with the SIBO diet and I am so anxious to try this recipe.
I usually mash the bananas
