I am trying to make pancakes for a two year old child. I used the following ingredients:
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 60ml oats
- 1/2 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 tablespoon Sri Lankan cinnamon powder
But it comes out too bitter. Now I am no expert. I have always made pancakes with storebought batter. But it felt to me that the problem was not the lack of sweetners but too much bitterness from either the cinnamon powder or baking powder. I can't tell which one exactly. Or if it because the cinnamon powder is Sri Lankan. That is what it says on the container. I don't know what the implications of that are.
Any idea what I am doing wrong?
1/2 tbsp of baking powder is a lot. You need 1 tsp for the amount you've got there.
The cinnamon probably isn't helping too, it can burn easily which makes it bitter. Probably just sprinkle it when you serve it with honey and banana.
