These single-serving pancakes are a bit more like the custardy center bite of French toast: fluffy, eggy, and golden delicious.

I used VERY ripe bananas so the banana flavor was very strong. I also used oatmeal flour instead of whole wheat. These came out very similar to banana bread but much less time consuming, portion controlled and you don't have to fire up the oven. I ate them with ricotta, blueberries, walnuts and maple syrup.

Doesn't have overwhelming banana taste which surprised me. I did add the following 1/2 tsp each of baking powder and vanilla extract. 1/4 tsp salt

The recipe should be titled "3 Ingredient Banana Pancakes" because the banana taste is very strong. It's a really good and easy recipe, but it doesn't taste like regular pancakes. They would be good with other stuff that goes well with banana pancakes, like chocolate chips.
