# Helpful Tips:

01 -
  • The ripe bananas do all the sweetening work, so you get natural sweetness without the sugar crash
  • They come together in one bowl and taste like you spent way more effort than you actually did
02 -
  • Overmixing the batter makes tough, rubbery pancakes, so stir until just combined and walk away
  • Letting the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking gives the oats time to soften and absorb liquid
03 -
  • If your bananas aren't quite ripe enough, a quick 20 second zap in the microwave softens them perfectly for mashing
  • Use a measuring cup with a spout to pour the batter, it makes the most perfect circles every time
