Long story short, it took me two tries to make whole wheat banana pancakes this weekend. The first try was a disaster that cost me an hour of prep/shopping time, melted the edge of my spatula (as I tried to scrape one glutenous mess from the pan), and shattered a glass (my whisk apparently has a handle like a brick that can cause serious bodily/glassware-ily injury when dropped). Luckily, I managed to fix the recipe by Sunday and I emerged triumphant. Revenge has never tasted so sweet. Or banana-y.
