If you're looking for a quick and delicious breakfast that will surprise the whole family, we have the perfect recipe for you! Combine two simple ingredients, banana and baking soda, to get fluffy, golden pancakes that will surely bring joy to your loved ones.

Baking soda isn’t just for cleaning! It's also a fantastic leavening agent that imparts pancakes a light and fluffy texture. Adding baking soda to banana batter triggers a chemical reaction with the citric acid in the bananas, producing air bubbles. These air bubbles make the pancakes fluffy and tender.

Ingredients:

• 1 ripe banana,
• 1 teaspoon of baking soda,
• 1 egg,
• about 200 ml of buttermilk or kefir,
• 1/2 cup of flour.

Preparation:

1. Mash the banana in a bowl.
2. Add the baking soda, egg, buttermilk or kefir, and flour.
3. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly into a smooth batter.
4. Heat a pan over medium heat and grease it with oil.
5. Pour a tablespoon of the batter onto the pan for each pancake.
6. Cook the pancakes on each side for 2-3 minutes until they’re browned.
7. Serve warm with your favourite toppings, such as yogurt, maple syrup, fruits, or whipped cream.

Additional tips:

• Feel free to add other ingredients to the batter, such as nuts, raisins, oat flakes, or cinnamon.
• If the batter is too thick, add more buttermilk or kefir.
• If the batter is too thin, add more flour.
• Banana pancakes with baking soda can also be baked in the oven. Preheat the oven to 350°F (about 180°C) and spread the batter on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 15-20 minutes until the pancakes are browned.

These pancakes are an excellent way to use up ripe bananas. They are delicious, healthy, and simple to make. Try them today and see for yourself!
