Banana Pancakes

This is my first time making pancakes! I know...I know...and my daughter loves pancakes too. What kind of mother am I? I haven't had pancakes since I was a child and my mother made corn pancakes with the Jiffy Corn Muffin mix. They were good, but I really haven't eaten them much since. I am not a big pancake fan, I don't like it when the butter and syrup soak in and make it really soggy. I do like French toast and have made that, but I won't put syrup on it. I don't like blueberries either so I won't make that, but banana sounded good.

Ingredients:
-1 cup flour
-1 Tablespoon sugar
-2 teaspoons baking powder
-1/2 teaspoon salt
-1 egg
-1 cup milk
-2 tablespoons melted butter
-1 ripe banana (mashed)
-1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
-1 teaspoon cinnamon (or to taste)
-a little fresh grated nutmeg

Method:

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together egg, milk, butter and banana.
Stir flour mixture into banana mixture; batter will be slightly lumpy.
Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Cook until pancakes are golden brown on both sides; serve hot.

I like using the mashed banana better than slicing it. You can see it still has some chunks in it. I do remember that when you see the bubbles come up that's when you flip them.

That's a hot griddle!

These were so good as is I didn't need any syrup! I like how it crisps up around the edges!

They were even good after I wrapped them up and froze some for Wade. He had some later, I think he just threw it in the pan to warm up.

  8. I'm glad you found a pancake that works for you and me too because I do love bananas. However...never give me a pancake without an amazing quality maple syrup. Less calories on you and more onto my hips!

    Thanks a ton :) and have a great weekend,

  11. My kids would flip if I didn't make pancakes at least once a week. Two of my kids love peanut butter on them instead of butter and syrup.

    Yours sound so flavorful with the spices and bananas. YUM!

  12. It's Sunday 7am right here and I think I want some of these too! I love any pancakes especially with butter & syrup. Well, actually it's best with maple syrup but can't find it here. So, sugar syrup is OK! Hmm..mm.... Enjoy & have a great Sunday.
    Blessings, Kristy

  27. Looks great. I can't believe it's your first time making pancakes! I make them a couple times a month and love buckwheat the best. I don't put butter on mine and serve the syrup in a little custard cup and just dip the pancakes so it doesn't get soaked with it.
