The irresistible banana pancake is loved worldwide. Whether for breakfast, as an after-meal dessert, or as part of a high-tea treat. Making banana pancakes is simple. You can make them vegetarian or vegan, use baking powder or self-raising flour for convenience, or even go 100% with just ripe bananas (BANANA CHOCOLATE CAKE). 

It’s also a great way to use bananas that are near expiry and already soft and mushy, waste not, want not. First, make the pancakes, and then comes the fun part, toppings. From maple syrup to ice cream, salted caramel, cream, or fresh fruits. The options are endless.

For this Malaysian-style banana pancake, the pancakes are sugarless., Served with palm sugar syrup and fresh grated coconut with a pinch of salt, creating an ideal balance of sweetness and mild saltiness.

 

Palm sugar and fresh coconut are two popular ingredients in Malaysian desserts. Using them makes this pancake a delicious reflection of Malaysian food heritage (GOJI BERRY JELLY).
