- Fire too high 🔥: It seems to be speeding up, but it burns without cooking the center. Reduce your anxiety, chef!
- Very liquid dough: If the dough is too watery, add an extra spoonful of oats.
- Flip the pancake before time: Wait for the bubbles to rise before trying to turn it over.

- In the fridge: Store the finished pancakes in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- In the freezer: Separate them with parchment paper, freeze and consume within 1 month. When it's time to eat, just heat it directly in the frying pan or in the microwave.

🍌 Can I use frozen bananas in the recipe?
Yes! Just let it defrost completely and drain off any excess water before kneading.

Of course! Replace the egg with a “flax egg”: 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoons of water.

🔥 Can I make it in the oven?
It's possible! Shape into mini pancakes on parchment paper and bake at 180ºC for 12-15 minutes, turning halfway through.
🍫 Can I add chocolate?
Of course! Add 70% cocoa chocolate chips to the dough before cooking. It's amazing!
🥜 Can I add peanut butter to the dough?
You can and should! Add 1 tablespoon for a more protein-rich and creamy pancake.
🍯 Does the honey go in the dough or just on top?
It is best to use honey as a topping after the pancake is ready, so as not to alter the texture of the batter.
🥛 Can I add plant-based milk?
If the dough is too thick, you can add 1 tablespoon of almond, coconut or soy milk to thicken it.
🍏 What if the banana is too green?
I don't recommend it! Choose ripe, very sweet bananas to ensure the correct flavor and texture.

Yes! Just blend everything quickly in pulse mode to maintain some texture.

If your baby has already started solid foods and is not allergic to any of the ingredients, then yes! Just avoid honey before the age of 1.
