Banana Pancakes

I say these are easy banana pancakes….but if I’m being honest, they’re not as easy as a box mix. And you know what else? I don’t think boxes mixes are all that bad either. I actually think they’re pretty good!

But if you just really feel liking making them from scratch, I say use this recipe =) Making breakfast on Sunday morning is one of my favorite activities, and I wish I made time to do it more often. There are just so many amazing breakfast foods out there! And pancakes are a great dish to customize and add your own little touches to it.

There isn’t much to this recipe. You mix a bunch of pancakes, pour it in a butter greased skillet, and you’re basically done! I let my ingredients come to room temperature look I do for anything, but it’s not entirely necessary. Especially when you’re trying to get breakfast going in a timely manner!

Just make sure you use ripe bananas! Ripe bananas will have that super sweet flavor. If you don’t use ripe bananas it won’t taste sweet. It will just be mush.

I also recommend adding chocolate chips or topping these pancakes with my blueberry sauce. You can also use that blueberry sauce recipe for any other berry. I’ve tried it with strawberries and blackberries and it turned out great. I’ve also spread some apple butter and whipped cream on my pancakes. The possibilities are endless!

• If you want to freeze the pancakes, put them on a baking sheet in a single layer. Freeze until solid then transfer to a bag or container
• If you want perfectly smooth pancakes, use oil and spread on skillet with a pastry brush. Blot the excess oil droplets. I like the flavor from the butter, so I don’t do this.

Try my dutch baby.

• Frittata (aka the quichetata)
• Huevos rancheros
