Notes

  • Thanks to the addition of flax seed meal, these corn pancakes achieve a fluffy perfection that will leave you in awe. The subtle banana-like notes of the flax seed meal beautifully complement the sweetness of the ripe bananas.
  • I suggest grinding the pecans into a luscious, near-nut butter texture using a mortar and pestle or finely chopping them in a food processor. Their delightful crunch creates a delectable contrast, adding an extra layer of decadence to each bite.
  • Don’t forget, the key to pancake success lies in the pan itself. Apply a thin layer of butter between each batch, allowing it to melt and create that desirable golden crust.
