Hotcakes are classics in American breakfasts. And they are usually served alongside scrambled eggs, sausage, and bacon. They can also be accompanied by other ingredients such as honey, syrup, fresh fruits, chocolate, milk caramel, etc.

Let’s talk about the recipe:

Without a doubt, this banana hotcakes with whole wheat flour is very simple and straightforward. The ingredients used are common and you can easily find them in any market or store. Although this time an extra ingredient is needed, bananas. It is a dough that does not need much preparation or large kitchen utensils.

Bananas are a kind of fruit that the more ripe they get, their benefits and sweetness increase proportionally. Therefore, any recipe that is made with them, their sugar, product of their maturity, is considered in the proportions of the ingredients that are given in the recipe.

If you don’t have ripe bananas, you can still make this recipe with the bananas you have at home. And while the recipe does not carry a large amount of sugar, its absence will be felt. For this reason, the solution is to add a little more sugar or sweetener according to preference.

About the dough:

The dough for hotcakes, unlike pancakes, is much denser. In general, it is left to rest for at least an hour in the refrigerator so the flour hydrates. Although, if it is left to rest all night, it is even better.

As a consequence, the dough thickens a bit more as the flour hydrates. If necessary, add a little more milk, but not too much because it is a dense dough. To avoid lumps, always consider sifting all dry ingredients before adding them.

The fat used is butter, which provides a characteristic softness to the dough. But it can be coconut oil, sunflower oil or some other of your preference. It should be noted that the final flavor and texture is the result of the ingredients used for it.

About Cooking:

To cook these banana pancakes with whole wheat flour, you need a hot nonstick pan with a little butter or butter-flavored vegetable spray. This will prevent sticking and make cooking easier.

The size varies depending on the amount of batter used, so using a measuring cup or ladle can help. In this way, hotcakes of a similar size will be obtained. The amount of hotcakes that are obtained with these proportions will vary according to their size.

Its cooking is done in minutes and is done on both sides. As soon as you notice small holes in the dough, with the help of a spatula, quickly turn the pancake over and cook for a few more seconds. The hotcakes will come out more or less toasted depending on the temperature used to cook them and the time used.
