Banana Chocolate Chip Air Fryer Pancakes Recipe Faqs
Can use whole wheat flour in place of all-purpose? Yes, but the measurements below will yield a denser pancake. Half all-purpose and half whole wheat for balance.
Can I make these with no eggs? Yes! Replace with 1 flax egg (1 tbsp of ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water).
Can pancakes be stacked in the air fryer? No, it’s best to cook them in ramekins or a pan so that they don’t stack (and therefore cook unevenly).
Can I make these dairy free? Yes, you can substitute almond milk and dairy-free chocolate chips.
