Notes

A heads-up about the texture: These aren’t fluffy like regular pancakes. They’re soft and delicate, so make them small, cook them slowly over medium-low heat, and flip them gently. If you’re craving a more traditional, fluffy pancake, try my Banana Nut Pancakes instead. I also love making this batter in a waffle iron, where it gets crisp around the edges.
