Origin

Cultural Significance

Description
These pancakes are naturally sweet from the banana, slightly nutty from the oats, and soft yet sturdy enough to hold together. They’re perfect for a grab-and-go breakfast or a leisurely morning treat.
Optional Additions
Cinnamon or vanilla extract for extra flavor
Berries, nuts, or chocolate chips mixed into the batter
A drizzle of honey, maple syrup, or nut butter on top
A pinch of salt to enhance sweetness
Tips for Success
