Ingredients
  

Batter
  • 2 medium Overripe Bananas Ensure it's very ripe for best flavor.
  • 2 Large Eggs Room temperature eggs yield better results.
  • ¼ cup Water Can be adjusted for desired consistency.
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract Use pure vanilla for better taste.
  • ½ cup Vegetable Oil Can be substituted with melted butter for richer flavor.
  • cup Granulated Sugar Consider reducing if using very ripe bananas.
  • 2 cups Krusteaz Pancake Mix Ensure it only requires water for best results.
  • 1 cup Chopped Strawberries Can swap with raspberries or blueberries.
Glaze
  • ¾ cup Powdered Sugar Sift for a smoother consistency in the glaze.
  • teaspoon Strawberry Extract Optional based on preference.
  • 2-3 tablespoons Heavy Whipping Cream Can substitute with milk or non-dairy alternatives.
  • 1-2 drops Red Food Coloring Use sparingly; more can make it too dark.
