I frequently double this recipe.
You can store Chocolate Chip Plantain Pancakes for up to three days in the refrigerator.
To make these Kosher for Passover here are two alternatives:
I frequently make Plantain Pancakes year round, and made them a lot for Passover, substituting potato starch for the all-purpose-gluten-free-flour. They are hugely popular, super simple to make, and a perfect Passover breakfast dish!
This year I made them Kosher for Passover by doubling the recipe and increase the eggs to 3 large eggs. Replace the 1/2 cup gluten free flour with 2 teaspoons gluten free cake meal. They will be slightly softer than the year round ones but still excellent.
