i tried this recipe (without the pb on top) and it was way too thick. when i went to fry them (i did use 1/2 cup instead of 1/4...maybe that would have helped) they were really thick and lumpy. perhaps my banana's were not ripe enough, but i can't see how even if they were it would have been enough liquid to make good batter. (hold while i take a bite)............they're ok, but not that good. maybe the PB would make it better but i'm not in the mood for that. perhaps i should learn to follow directions and it may turn out right. anyway, take no offese author, just thought one might like to know my experience with this recipe. peace!
