Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Rolled oats
Provide a chewy, hearty texture and bulk to the batter.
Unbleached flour
Forms the main structure that holds the pancakes together.
Soy flour
Adds protein and helps the pancakes brown on the griddle.
Baking powder
Releases gas that makes the pancakes rise and turn light.
Soymilk
Hydrates the flours and supplies the liquid that forms the batter.
Bananas
Add moisture, natural sweetness, and aroma as they cook.

The step that matters

Blend the batter only briefly. Stirring too much develops gluten in the flour, which makes pancakes tough and dense. A few gentle strokes leave small lumps that keep them tender.

Swap the banana

How well each one fits the dish's main ingredients (oats, flour):

  1. Raisinfits better

  3. Blueberryfits better
  4. Bananathe original

Fit is the average pairing score against oats, flour. Candidates are from the same food group and used in at least 100 recipes.
