FAQS

  1. How can I make banana chocolate chip pancakes without sourdough discard?

    If you don't have sourdough discard, you can substitute it with an equal amount of buttermilk or yogurt. This will help maintain the moisture and texture of the pancakes while still providing a delicious flavor.

  2. Can I store leftover banana chocolate chip pancakes for later?

    Yes, you can store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Reheat in the toaster or microwave before serving.

  3. What are some good toppings to pair with banana chocolate chip pancakes?

    These pancakes pair wonderfully with maple syrup, fresh sliced bananas, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of chopped nuts. You can also add a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra creaminess and protein.

  4. Are banana chocolate chip pancakes suitable for a gluten-free diet?

    To make these pancakes gluten-free, simply replace the almond flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Ensure that all other ingredients, including the baking powder and chocolate chips, are certified gluten-free.

  5. What is the best way to cook banana chocolate chip pancakes for even results?

    For even cooking, heat your non-stick skillet over medium heat and allow it to preheat properly. Pour the batter in small rounds and cook until bubbles form on the surface before flipping. This ensures that the pancakes are cooked through and golden brown on both sides.
