FRENCH BANANA PANCAKES

Looking for a fabulous new breakfast? This is it, very easy to fix, and makes a wonderful presentation when serving. Great for any day of the week, or makes an impression on guests. They taste as yummy as they look. I started making these about 15 years ago when my son was in middle school. After sleepovers, the other boys would be so impressed with breakfast, and would beg their moms to get the recipe. The great thing was, this recipe is easy enough for that age group to make themselves. Hope you try it, we love it. This is a Taste of Home recipe.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your pancakes will be.
  • Mash the bananas well: Make sure to mash the bananas until they are completely smooth, with no lumps. This will help the pancakes to be light and fluffy.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the pancakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat: Cooking the pancakes over medium heat will help them to cook evenly without burning.
  • Flip the pancakes only once: Flipping the pancakes too often will make them dry and tough. Flip them only once, when bubbles start to form around the edges.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately: Pancakes are best served immediately after they are cooked. Top them with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
