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
Banana Pancakes
from Williams Sonoma
Yield: about 8 pancakes
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.
