# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Three ingredients means no mysterious pantry items or complicated shopping trips, just real food that comes together in your kitchen.
  • They're genuinely filling, not those sad protein pancakes that leave you hungry an hour later.
  • When you're rushing on a weekday morning, these cook faster than your coffee gets cold.
02 -
  • If your batter seems too thick, the banana wasn't ripe enough or wet enough—slightly overripe bananas make these actually work, so don't wait for perfection.
  • The first pancake is always a test; use it to adjust your heat and timing rather than getting frustrated when it's not magazine-perfect.
03 -
  • Room temperature eggs and a slightly overripe banana are the difference between good pancakes and ones that impress you.
  • Watch for the bubble stage rather than watching a clock—every stove behaves differently, and your eyes are more reliable than timing.
