Banana Pancakes

Banana Pancakes are usually good for about one to two days if left unrefrigerated. However, they will last longer if promptly stored in the fridge post cooling, stretching their shelf life up to a week. If you prefer to freeze your banana pancakes, they can remain good for up to two months. Just ensure to store them properly in a freezer-safe bag or container.

If your banana pancakes have gone bad, you'll typically notice a few signs. They might have an off smell that is not typically present or have signs of mold, usually a discoloration or fuzzy spots. The texture might also be off, your pancakes may turn too hard or unusually soggy over time. When in doubt, it's better to err on the side of caution and discard them.

• Always let your pancakes cool completely before storing them to prevent condensation, which can lead to premature spoilage. • Use airtight containers or zip-lock bags to store banana pancakes in the fridge. To prevent them from sticking together, try to layer parchment paper in between each pancake. • If freezing, remember to wrap each pancake individually in wax paper before placing them in a freezer-safe container or bag. This will make it easier for you to grab just one pancake at a time, if you wish to. • To defrost, remove the pancakes from the freezer and let them thaw in the refrigerator for a few hours. You can then gently reheat them in a toaster, microwave or oven until warmed through.
