For some reason, fluffy American pancakes are more often prepared with bananas - apparently, the stereotype that it is better to rhyme exotic with exotic works. Meanwhile, bananas today are almost cheaper than apples, and banana caramel is so easy to prepare that it can become an affordable daily pleasure. We packed it inside pancake rolls - with unleavened thin pancakes it turns out not too sweet, besides, pancakes with caramel inside can be eaten directly with your hands, without the risk of getting dirty.
