Why are my banana pancakes mushy?

Why are my banana pancakes mushy?

Are banana pancakes supposed to be mushy? If your pancakes come out mushy, it’s likely because the heat on your griddle or skillet is too high and is cooking the outside much faster than the inside. Adjust the heat and your pancakes should be perfect.

How do you keep banana pancakes from falling apart?

If you have an especially big banana, try using two eggs instead of one. Use medium-low heat. I can’t stress this one enough because if you cook the pancake too fast on high heat, it will burn, stick to the pan, and fall apart, which, of course, is no good. Be sure to use medium-low heat to cook your pancake.

Is it better to make pancakes with milk or water?

Milk not only adds flavor, but the milk fat is necessary for tender, moist pancakes. Plain water just won’t give the same results. Milk can also be added in place of water in the “complete” mixes for a thicker texture.

What can I use in place of bananas in pancakes?

You can replace 1 banana with 1/2 cup of applesauce, but avoid using more than 1 cup total applesauce in a recipe (it’ll be too wet and dense and cook unevenly).

Can I refrigerate banana pancakes?

Leftover pancakes: These banana pancakes will keep in the refrigerator for a few days and can be warmed in the microwave in 30-second bursts until hot.

Why can’t I flip my banana pancakes?

It MUST dance around on the surface. If it simply falls and boils off, it’s not hot enough… Now it’s time for the batter. Once you pour the batter onto the cooking surface, leave it alone until you see bubbles break at the surface. At this point it’s time to flip the pancake.

Why do my banana pancakes stick to the pan?

Your pan doesn’t have a nonstick surface. You didn’t evenly coat your pan with enough oil or butter. You didn’t let your pancake mix sit for at least 20 minutes. The heat you set your stovetop at was too high.
