Banana Topped Pancakes

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Slow mornings call for easy an easy breakfast. The kind that looks and tastes a lot more complicated than they really are. The kind that makes you get up from the couch and actually sit at the table (while still in your pajamas, of course).

Call in the banana pancakes.

Banana Pancakes

Weekend mornings are for relaxing, not for spending time standing in the kitchen.

This recipe is as easy as it gets. Simple whole wheat pancakes and a quick caramelized banana topping that takes just 5 minutes.

Banana Pancakes

I like to make standard and super easy whole wheat pancake batter with a touch of cinnamon so anyone who doesn’t want the banana topping doesn’t have to partake. But for me, the more banana the better.

You can even simplify the recipe more by using your favorite pancake recipe (Mohawk Valley Trading Co., Bisquick, Aunt Jemima, homemade – it all counts!) I like using the whole wheat because it adds extra protein and nutrition to a meal that is otherwise quite sweet. It’s a filling and healthy-ish way to start your day.

Banana Pancakes

The bananas foster-like topping is insanely rich and decadent for something that only requires putting a few things (things you likely already have in your kitchen) into a pan and stirring every once in a while. This might sound crazy… but I think I like this more than maple syrup. That’s a big deal.

Banana Pancakes

Best served with a big cup of coffee or black tea. Then followed by a nap or a few minutes with a good book. Trust me.
