# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The texture is impossibly fluffy while still packing 8 grams of protein per serving
  • They come together so quickly that you can have breakfast on the table in under 30 minutes
02 -
  • Overmixing the batter will make the pancakes tough and dense, stir until just combined
  • The pancakes are ready to flip when bubbles form on the surface and pop but do not fill back in
  • Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking for even fluffier results
03 -
  • Room temperature ingredients blend together more smoothly and create a better texture
  • If your bananas are not quite ripe enough, microwave them for 30 seconds before mashing
  • Clean your pan between batches with a paper towel to prevent any burnt butter bits from sticking
