Can you use over-ripe bananas for pancakes?

These pancakes are perfect for using up any over-ripe bananas! Just make sure they're well-mashed before adding them to the pancake mixture.

How do I make my pancakes fluffy?

One of the most common mistakes when making pancakes is when you overbeat the mixture. This causes the gluten in the flour to over-develop, which will make your pancakes chewy instead of light and fluffy. Mix lightly with a whisk until just combined and then you're ready to go!
