By Kristine Mahan at Boston University

It doesn’t get more classic than banana pancakes. Appropriate for all meals of the day and they stack up in less than 20 minutes. Even if you’re not about the plant-based and gluten free lifestyle, I can guarantee you’re going to love these (because they taste just like the conventional version you probably grew up on).
