Banana Pancakes


Sometimes a great recipe gets overlooked or forgotten.  That was the case with these pancakes so I decided they needed a second chance.  The old picture was terrible!  I hope you can get a better feel for how yummy these can be now. My family loves these pancakes! I feel good serving these to my family because in addition to filling our bellies we get a full serving of fruit! The pancakes have a subtle banana flavor and bake up nice and puffy. My favorite way to eat these is topped with whipped cream, sliced bananas, and the Coconut Syrup Kirsti posted previously. The combination is to die for!

Banana Pancakes
from Williams Sonoma

Yield: about 8 pancakes


Ingredients:
6 TBSP unsalted butter, plus additional for greasing the pan
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 TBSP sugar
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 small ripe banana, mashed
1 cup milk
2 large eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Additional banana slices, for serving
Syrup, whipped cream, etc. for serving



Directions:
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Melt the butter in a microwave safe bowl; set aside to cool slightly. In a medium bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; whisk together to combine. In another bowl, combine the mashed banana, milk, eggs, and vanilla and whisk to blend. Add the melted butter and the banana mixture to the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix gently with a rubber spatula until just blended (the batter will be slightly lumpy).


Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grease lightly with butter. Drop the batter in 1/3 cup portions onto a heated cooking surface. Cook until a few bubbles form in the top surface and the bottom is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Carefully flip the pancake over and cook on the remaining side until golden brown, 1-2 minutes more. Transfer finished pancakes to a plate in the warm oven while you use the remaining batter, re-greasing as needed. Serve warm with syrup, whipped cream, and sliced bananas as desired.

These are super yummy! We love the Martha Stewart buttermilk pancakes, but this was a nice change. I like subtle banana flavor, not overpowering like some I've tried.

Bakery style Strawberry Muffins

New recipe! Can you even believe it?! Kirsti and I decided we need to get back in the habit of sharing our favorite recipes by sharing at least one a month so here you go:   I’m starting off with these scrumptious strawberry muffins. Extra large and fluffy, these muffins are bursting with strawberry bits and topped with the most delicious strawberry glaze. If you end up with extra glaze, go ahead and drizzle some extra.  No judgement here :)   Even if you already love the previous strawberry muffins on our blog, you need to try these- they are the only ones I'll be making from here on out.  They're that good!

Chocolate Covered Cream Balls

Several years ago, I sampled a Milk Chocolate Coconut at See's Candies.  It was love at first bite.  Ever since then I have made a mandatory stop every time I went into the mall to get one of these delicious chocolates.  I love them so much !  However, there are two things I didn't like about them.  1) I had to go to the mall to get them, and 2) they are SO expensive.  I think the last time I was there I paid about 75 cents for 1 chocolate. 

Healthier Chocolate Banana Muffins

 I know, I know.  We already have like 5 banana muffins posted on this blog.  I have put off posting this recipe because of that fact, but here's the thing.  While those muffins are all delicious and great in their own way, when I have ripe bananas you know I'm either making these muffins or banana bread.  More often, these muffins because they are perfect for a grab and go snack or breakfast.  My family LOVES these muffins! They have such a deep chocolate flavor and are so moist.  What my family doesn't think about, but I love, are that these muffins are healthier than your average muffin.  They are made with whole wheat flour, coconut oil, greek yogurt for extra protein, and have less sugar that most other muffins.  These are best warm (they can be reheated in the microwave for 10 seconds) and those bites with melted chocolate chips are the absolute best!
