FAQs
Not at all! You can use any ripeness of banana you want, even a bright yellow one. The taste might be slightly different because ripe and over ripe bananas are sweeter than firmer bananas but they will all taste delicious!
I like to top my pancakes with some banana slices, a drizzle of maple syrup or honey. I also like to add fresh berries, nuts, or even a little sprinkle of cinnamon or powdered sugar for the kids.
