Tips & Variations

  • For a sweeter touch, add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup on top before serving.
  • If you prefer a dairy-free version, omit the feta cheese or substitute with a plant-based cheese.
  • Use ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and easier mashing.
  • Adding a pinch of vanilla extract can enhance the flavor of the pancakes.

Storage

Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a pan over low heat or in the microwave until warmed through. These pancakes are best enjoyed fresh but can also be frozen for up to 1 month; thaw before reheating.

FAQs

Can I use regular cinnamon instead of ground cinnamon?

Ground cinnamon is recommended for even flavor distribution, but you can use cinnamon sticks to infuse the eggs if ground cinnamon is unavailable. Just be sure to remove the sticks before cooking.

What can I substitute for feta cheese?

You can use ricotta, goat cheese, or even skip the cheese altogether. Each option will slightly change the flavor and texture but still result in tasty pancakes.
