🥄 Texture

Soft and tender with a slightly dense, custardy interior from the mashed banana and eggs. Small banana lumps provide occasional chew while the edges are lightly crisped from the pan.

👃 Aroma

Dominant warm notes of ripe banana and sweet cinnamon with a mild milky, eggy background. Light toasty/caramelized scent from the browned surfaces rounds out the aroma.

🍷 Pairs Well With

Medium-roast coffee or a spiced chai tea; alternatively, a bright glass of freshly squeezed orange juice for contrast.

🥗 Side Dishes

Fresh berries or sliced fruit and a dollop of yogurt or Greek yogurt with honey and toasted nuts; for a savory contrast, serve with crispy bacon or turkey sausage.

Instructions

Peel the banana and mash it in a bowl using a fork until mostly smooth with just a few small lumps.

Crack the eggs into the bowl with the mashed banana and pour in the milk. Add the cinnamon and stir everything together with a fork until well combined. The mixture should be slightly thick and pourable.

Heat a non-stick pan or skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of oil, tilting the pan to coat the bottom evenly.

Pour about 1/4 cup of the banana mixture onto the hot pan for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and you see small bubbles forming on top, then flip and cook the other side for another 2 minutes until golden.

Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat with remaining batter. Serve warm with your choice of toppings like honey, fresh fruit, or yogurt.
