Notes
- Make Pancakes for One (double it!) or use your favorite pancake mix, my 2 favorites are Bob's Red Mill pancake mix & Kodiak Cakes mix.
- Dark brown sugar has a lot of sweet molasses flavor which is great for this recipe. Use dark brown sugar if you have it!
- Make sure to use ripe bananas, they'll have more flavor, be sweeter, and have a softer texture than green ones.
- Don't overcook bananas, they turn to a hard mush.
