Hello, breakfast club! I'm diving into making banana pancakes and wondering, is there a specific type of banana that's best for the batter? Some say overripe, others have their own picks. What do you find works best to get that perfect flavor and texture? Can't wait to hear your thoughts!

Ripe bananas are preferable for banana pancakes because they mash more readily and naturally sweeten the batter.
