Banana pancakes: Mash 1 ripe banana into the batter for naturally sweetened pancakes.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I make the batter ahead of time? Yes! You can make the batter up to 24 hours in advance. Simply cover it tightly and store it in the fridge. Give it a quick stir before cooking.
What can I substitute for the berries? Feel free to use any fruit you like. Sliced bananas, peaches, or even a mix of dried fruits can be used in place of the fresh berries.
Can I freeze these pancakes? Absolutely! Let the pancakes cool completely and then stack them with parchment paper between each layer. Store them in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 2 months. To reheat, simply pop them in the toaster or microwave.
Can I make these pancakes savory? Yes, you can! Skip the sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract, and instead add a pinch of salt and pepper. You can even fold in ingredients like shredded cheese, chopped spinach, or cooked bacon for a savory breakfast option.
