These pancakes are so easy to prepare! Follow these simple steps:

  • Place peeled bananas in a large mixing bowl.
  • Mash bananas using a fork or potato masher (It’s ok to leave some chunky bits).
  • Add in cinnamon to taste along with a pinch of salt. Mix with a fork.
  • Whisk eggs in a medium-sized bowl and pour into your banana mixture.
