While I woke up today, it was raining outside. The gloomy and slow start led to a craving for something warm and comforting, yet something new. From a regular Indian breakfast, I needed some change. You know the kind of breakfast that feels like a treat? Something cozy, and a little sweet. I had a couple of bananas and apples sitting in my kitchen. That’s when I decided—pancakes. Not just plain pancakes, but ones with a twist: bananas for their soft sweetness, cut apples for a little zing, and some chopped nuts for that lovely crunch.

Making pancakes is not a regular ritual at home. The smell of fresh fruits and sweet fragrance filled our house—it’s such a simple thing, but it quickly uplifted the mood. When I finally sat down with my warm stack of pancakes, topped with a drizzle of honey, I couldn’t help but smile. It was the perfect breakfast to brighten a grey, rainy day.
