Notes
➊ Let the batter rest. Let the batter rest in the fridge for 5-10 minutes before pan-frying. This process allows the gluten to rest enough, resulting in fluffier and tender pancakes.
➋ Use ripe or over-ripe bananas. Use ripe or over-ripe bananas for an intense banana flavor and aroma.
➌ Don’t overmix the batter. Don’t overmix the eggless banana chocolate chip pancakes. Overmixing it will develop the gluten, making it hard for your pancakes to rise and become fluffy and light.
➍ Don’t flip your pancakes too soon. Flip your pancake batter when bubbles begin to form. Flipping your pancakes too soon will break them.
➎ Mash the bananas to a puree. Mash the bananas enough before adding the ingredients. Your mashed bananas should look like a puree.
