    I love fruit, and I love pancakes. So I decided to take my tastebuds to the islands by combining mango and pancake batter. The result? Pure tropical heaven.

    We already make pancakes with bananas so we figured mango pancakes were going to be next on the list to try. We all love mangoes and have our grilled mango recipe and our German Apple Pancake available for you to check out too. So good.

    Regardless, we had to know if these pancakes were as tasty as we thought they should be. Boy oh boy were we glad we tried them and were right.

    These pancakes taste amazing if I don't say so myself. We are so proud of this easy mango pancake recipe and hope you enjoy them as much as we all do.

    What to Serve with Pancakes

    Pancakes are a very versatile breakfast food that pair well with all kinds of breakfast options. You can top off these delicious pancakes with maple syrup, chocolate sauce, whipped cream, strawberries, cut fresh mangoes into cubes and sprinkled over the tops of your pancakes. You can also add your favorite toppings.

    Tips

    • For a fluffier pancake, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.
    • If pancakes are sticking to the pan, make sure your skillet is hot enough and liberally grease it with cooking spray or butter in between every batch.
    • Use an ice cream scoop, measuring cup or ladle to ensure all pancakes are the same size for even cooking times.
    • Flip each pancake only once when frying in order to avoid overcooking them and making them dryer than desired.

    FAQ

    How do I know when my pancakes are done?

    Cook the pancakes until the edges appear dry and the top has bubbles.

    Why are my pancakes tough?

    If you overmix your batter, you'll form too much gluten in the batter. That gluten will make your pancakes tough and rubbery.

    Why are my pancakes doughy in the middle?

    You either used heat that was too low or too high. If the heat is too low, the batter will absorb the butter or oil in the pan and change the texture. If the heat is too high, the outside will cook before the inside is finished.
