Today's mission finding a way to use the bananas I noticed were ripe before they go bad. So begins my mission - banana pancakes with caramel banana syrup. I ran the idea by my daughter last night and she said it sounded yummy. My internal Mommy clock decided to wake me up early so I had plenty of time to make these this morning.
Here's what you'll need:
Here's what you'll need:
| Banana Pancakes 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 Tbsp baking powder 1 banana, ripened 1/2 cup butter, melted 2 eggs 2 cups milk 1/4 cup brown sugar Caramel Banana Syrup 1/2 cup melted butter 1/2 cup brown sugar 2 bananas, ripened 1 tsp vanilla extract |  |
In a medium sauce pan, melt butter, vanilla extract, and brown sugar.
Whisk brown sugar, extract, and melted butter together over medium-high heat.
Bring to a boil. Continue to boil until sauce begins to thicken.
Meanwhile, slice two bananas.
Add sliced bananas to caramel sauce. Reduce heat to low while you prepare pancake batter.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and brown sugar.
In a small bowl, mash one banana.
Add mashed banana to flour mixture.
Whisk banana into flour mixture. Flour will have some texture, but should not have big lumps.
Slowly begin adding milk, melted butter, and eggs to flour mixture. Carefully whisk together to incorporate liquid.
Add remaining liquid.
Whisk together until liquid is completely incorporated and mostly smooth.
Over medium heat, pour 1/4 cup of batter on griddle or non-stick pan. When bubbles form, pancakes are ready to turn.
Continue to cook on other side another 1 to 2 minutes or until golden brown.
Top with caramelized banana syrup and serve.
My entire family enjoyed this pancakes!
