👨‍🍳 How to Make It (Step-by-step)

Step 1: Select Your Banana 🍌
Choose a ripe, spotty banana – the riper, the sweeter.
💡 The darker the banana, the more intense the flavour – no need for added sugar!

Step 2: Crack the Eggs 🥚
Use two fresh eggs – ideally at room temperature.
💡 Room-temp eggs combine better and cook more evenly.

Step 3: Mash and Mix 🍴
In a bowl, mash the banana and mix with eggs until smooth.
💡 Use a fork or hand whisk – the goal is a slightly lumpy batter, not purée.

Step 4: Preheat the Pan 🔥
Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat.
💡 Don’t rush – gentle heat prevents burning and ensures fluffiness.

Step 5: Add a Touch of Fat 🧈
Melt a little unsalted butter or coconut oil.
💡 Swipe the butter with a brush or paper towel for even coverage.

Step 6: Pour the Batter 🫗
Scoop small pancakes into the pan – about 2 tablespoons each.
💡 Smaller pancakes flip easier and cook more evenly.

Step 7: Cook One Side First ⏳
Fry for 1–1.5 minutes or until golden underneath.
💡 Bubbles on the surface = time to flip!

Step 8: Flip with Care 🔄
Use a thin spatula and flip gently.
💡 Too early flipping breaks them – wait for edges to set!

Step 9: Final Fry 🔥
Fry the other side for another minute.
💡 Press lightly with the spatula for even browning.

Step 10: Serve & Savour 🍽️
Stack them high, drizzle with toppings or enjoy as-is.
💡 They pair beautifully with honey, Greek yoghurt or berries.

🧊 Storage & Freshness Tips
