# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It tastes like dessert for breakfast but keeps you full until lunch, which is the dream nobody admits they want.
  • The whole thing comes together in 30 minutes, including baking time, so it's actually faster than scrolling through your phone deciding what to eat.
02 -
  • Don't skip cooling the pancake base before frosting it or you'll end up with a melted mess, which I learned the hard way on attempt number two.
  • Warming the peanut butter makes it drizzle like a sauce instead of clumping on top, and this small detail is what makes it look intentional instead of haphazard.
03 -
  • Use frozen banana instead of fresh if you have it, since it'll blend even smoother and create a slightly fluffier base without changing the taste.
  • The contrast between warm pancake, cool frosting, and fresh banana is what makes this feel special, so don't skip the cooling step even when you're hungry and impatient.
