Fruits are probably the best friends of pancakes! No other ingredients can add freshness, flavor, and tartness all at once like berries, citrus or plums can.
You can use just about any fruit in your pancakes. Bananas, for example, lend themselves particularly well to this, because in addition to being delicious, they have great nutritional factors that will help increase your energy levels for several hours. Perfect for kids!
To enjoy your delicious banana pancakes, you can either add a few slices on top of the pancake or mashed bananas and add them directly to your pancake batter before baking – for the puree bananas, I would recommend using 2 medium-sized ripe bananas and follow the pancake recipe above.

FAQs
What’s the difference between Pancakes and Crepes?
French crêpes are thin and delicate, while American pancakes have a thick fluffy texture. Pancakes are thicker and fluffier than crepes because the pancake batter contains a raising agent such as baking powder or baking soda, whereas the crepe batter does not contain any.
Unlike crepes, pancakes are not folded or rolled. The pancake toppings are put on top and then the pancake is cut. A lot of people also like to dip their pancakes in a honey or maple syrup sauce.
Above all, you need to master the art of baking pancakes. Purists will tell you that pancakes should be cooked in a hot buttered pan. Each pancake should have golden brown sides. As soon as bubbles form on the surface, it’s time to flip it.
How to make pancakes extra fluffy
The secret to super fluffy pancakes? There is no secret! You just have to respect some rules to enjoy a good fluffy pancake.
The first rule is to separate the wet and dry mixtures before putting them together. No lumps can be tolerated!
If you want to take it a step further, you can separate the egg whites and yolks and beat the whites until they are stiff before adding them gently to the batter.
