š” Pro Tips
Tips to make this recipe perfect: Use ripe bananas for the best flavor. Don't overmix the batter, or the pancakes will be tough. Cook the pancakes over medium heat to prevent burning. Caramelize the pecans just before serving for maximum flavor. Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Freeze for up to 2 months.
