How to make healthy banana pancakes?
Replace plain flour with whole wheat to make a healthy banana pancakes recipe. Use overripe bananas. They are naturally sweet and kids do not like extra ripe bananas. Thus, they go waste. This mashed banana pancakes recipe helps you fight food waste too. We are always thinking of making food healthy. This was suggested by my friend Anuja who makes it regularly for her son Atharv who loves having pancakes. Many kids also have the Peppa pig fixation and want to have what the cartoon character wants to eat. Hence moms have to make the required dish too. Given a choice, mums always want their kids to eat healthy. Thus, this recipe helps both. Kids are happy and their mum too.
