Richa’s Top Tips
- you can use pancake batter to make these mini banana pancake bites. I switch between this, my ragi chocolate pancake and spinach banana pancake batter to keep things fun and interesting.
- you could even use a ready pancake mix if you are pinched for time.
- When you grease the tawa with butter, make sure to wipe off the excessThis will allow the pancakes to brown more evenly.
- Slice the bananas to 1/3rd of an inch to allow the batter to cook fully. If the slices are too thick then it’s likely the sides of the pancake bites could remain undercooked.
- Avoid using overripe brown bananas as they won’t hold their shape, which could result in mushy, broken pancakes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these pancakes with other fruits?
Yep, why not! You can use your favorite berries or pineapples to make these pancakes for a fun variation.
Can I use wholewheat flour instead of all purpose flour?
I wouldn’t recommend that because wholewheat flour would change the texture and flavor of these pancakes quite a bit.

Absolutely! Simply egg with flax egg (mix 1 tbsp of flaxseed powder with 3 tbsp of water), and there you have a vegetarian version of these pancakes.
