Decided to try these pancakes since I had some bananas that were getting a little too ripe—story of my life with those big bunches from Costco or Sam’s Club! Usually, I’d go the banana bread route, but I wanted to switch things up. A quick search for banana recipes led me to this one, and I’m so glad it did. These pancakes turned out incredibly tasty and were an instant hit with the family. I followed the recipe exactly, including the sautéed banana topping, which added something really special. A great way to elevate your classic buttermilk pancakes. Definitely worth a try—you won’t be disappointed!

After reading Jessica’s review, I made these pancakes using soy milk mixed with lime juice. Didn’t have ground ginger so I substituted a Tsp of rum extract. Great twist on regular pancakes.

I had a very old banana and made this recipe by cutting all quantities by half. I also used oat milk as I didn't have buttermilk and the result was fluffy and flavourful ❤️
