Fluffy Banana Pancakes

It is said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, which you can eat anytime of the day. I may have added that last point, but it is no less true. Breakfast has so many delicious choices, waffles, bacon, sausage, hash brown, eggs benedict, crepes, omelet and pancakes! Breakfast always leaves me so happy and content.

One of my favorite snacks as a kid was chopped banana with sour cream and a drizzle of honey. The combination of sweet banana, tart sour cream and flowery honey was a delicate balance of deliciousness. So simple yet so satisfying. I decided to upgrade that snack into a breakfast. Pancakes seems to be the perfect fit.

I mash some bananas in the batter and then placed whole pieces in the batter as it cooks, giving it a lovely texture. This way you get the creaminess of the banana and caramelized goodness of the whole pieces. 

Start your day, afternoon, evening right and have a stack of these delicious fluffy banana pancakes!

Buen Provecho!

Add wet ingredients.

Mix wet & dry ingredients. Careful not to over mix.

I pour my thick batter with a 1/3 measuring cup.

Look at those beauties.

Ready, Set, Eat!
