Not having tried the tweaks I don't care for the recipe. my pancakes came out, well, flat as pancakes. The science didn't work this time. I guess I will stick to my buttermilk pancakes and springboard from there. Thanks, however, for sharing! This is how I have always learned to cook; trial and error!

i thought the flavor was great, i used the "most helpful positive review" tweeks, and it made really good crepes....not really pancakes though...but put some homemade gingerbread whipped cream in here and you've got yourself an awesome breakfast/brunch

Only 1 cup of flour to 2 cups of buttermilk made for a very soupy batter, and these pancakes were certainly not fluffy. The addition of a little vanilla and 1/4 cup sugar helped a little with flavor,

There is NOT too much liquid. That part is just right. I added about a tablespoon of coconut oil, a good dash of cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Used 1/2 teaspoon each of baking powder and soda. These are very moist pancakes. With my adaptations, I'd give this a 4 star rating.

These were not fluffy, they were soggy. Not enough flour and not enough baking powder.

I didn't care much for this recipe at all. The texture was mushy and we found the pancakes to be inedible. I just went back to my base pancake recipe I always make and added some banana to that.

Ok, don't know why this gets such poor reviews! I followed the tweaking given in the reviews, used 3/4 cup buttermilk, 1 1/4 tsp double acting baking powder, and 4 over-ripe bananas. These were fluffy, with the creamy banana in the middle and full of banana flavor, plus they smelled fricken' awesome when cooking! Here's a hint people: when mashing the bananas use an actual "masher", not a blender or food processor. Also mix this by hand with a wisk, not a hand mixer. That's how this becomes too liquidy. Don't over mix, just mix until all the dry ingredients are incorporated and the batter is lumpy. Let the batter stand while you get your skillet heated up ( 1-3 minutes). Also make sure you grease your skillet or pan and use low to medium heat, otherwise these will get burnt before they are done in the middle. Follow these tips and this recipe WILL be awesome! Next time I'm gonna put cinnamon and chopped nuts in it and it'll kick butt!

I made these pancakes mainly to get rid of bananas and buttermilk . . .now I have a stack of pancakes I have to do something with (I may freeze them) LOL! I read through all of the reviews prior to making and I have to agree that there's way too much liquid in this. So, I cut it down to 1 c like another reviewer. I had four bananas to use, so I just mashed them all and added a bit more flour, baking powder, added sugar (about 2 tspns) and vanilla and cinnamon. they turned out really good--tons of banana flavor in every bite, and not too sweet or too bland. I have to say, though, that since I made so many modifications I'm not sure how close to the original recipe this is; it's definitely one you have to tweak to what works for you. thanks for the recipe!

There is nothing awsome about these pancakes. I evne followed the tweeks that some one else did. Decrease the buttermilk, add honey and added baking powder. My husband said these are not a keeper. But on a positive note the kids liked them alot.
