Brown Sugar Banana Pancakes

Heaven on a Saturday morning!

Hi Foodies,
  So this is yet another Pinterest find that I have fallen in love with. We love pancakes at our house and I am always looking for something new. This recipe is wonderful!! The website it comes from also has a few other variations that I am looking forward to trying. You can find the recipe here

Here is my take on it. :)

Brown Sugar Banana Pancakes
Makes 6 good size pancakes
2 cups all purpose  flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2/3 cup milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
4 large ripe bananas, mashed
2 tablespoons butter, melted
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Measure out the milk and add the vanilla extract to it. Whisk together the dry ingredients and add in milk and vanilla, stirring to combine. The mixture will still be dry. Add in mashed bananas and mix. Add in melted butter and stir until batter is somewhat smooth.
Heat a skillet or grilled on medium heat. Using a 1/3 cup measure, spoon batter into rounds and cook until bubbles form on top – about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for a minute or two more. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve hot with butter and syrup, or the vanilla maple glaze.


Vanilla Maple Glaze
1/2 cup warm maple syrup
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Combine all ingredients in a small pot and stir until smooth. Pour over pancakes.

I think I am going to make this pancakes and the glaze again this weekend, they were that good! :)
