Too many bananas at home and they’re just turning brown, mushy, sad, and neglected? I know…I come across this situation most weeks when I forget about those extra bananas I bought and they’re just hiding in the back kitchen counter too ripe to eat as is. Banana bread is usually my go-to solution but why not try something a little different and enjoy them in pancake form?
These pancakes have a wonderful banana flavor and are really easy to make and a great alternative to traditional pancakes! If you’re feeling adventurous you can also add a few mini chocolate chips into the batter to make it extra special.
Here’s a TIP! You can store your super ripe bananas in the freezer and save them for another day. Just take off the peels and place them directly into a zip lock bag then add them directly from frozen into any baked goods.
