  • Optional mix-ins: chopped nuts, seeds, dried fruit, chocolate chips, etc.

Directions

  7. Flip the pancakes and cook them for another 2-3 minutes, or until they are cooked through and the bottoms are golden brown.
  8. Transfer the pancakes to a plate and keep them warm while you cook the remaining batter.
  9. Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, honey, fruit, nuts, seeds, or chocolate chips. Enjoy your delicious and healthy acai berry banana pancakes!
