Banana Bread Pancakes (10 servings) 2 medium firm ripe bananas - peeled and sliced 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar 2 cups buttermilk complete pancake mix 1 cup water 1 cup mashed very ripe bananas 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 cup syrup warmed - optional 1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans - optional I was bananas about these banana pancakes. Granted, I took the recipe as submitted to a different level. Rather than pecans and maple syrup, I topped mine with homemade Bavarian cream (recipe coming soon), banana slices and blueberries. It was a genuinely awesome explosion of bananas! The pancakes from the recipe as submitted are terrific. No matter how you top them, I think you'll be happy with the results.

How To Make Banana Bread Pancakes Combine sliced bananas and sugar in small bowl; set aside Combine pancake mix, water, mashed bananas, and cinnamon in medium bowl; stir with wire whisk until large lumps disappear. For each pancake, pour 1/4 cup batter onto hot lightly greases griddle; top with 3 to 4 banana slices. Turn when bottoms are golden grown. Serve topped with warm syrup and pecans Makes about 10 5-inch pancakes. Note From Recipe Submitter: I have made this recipe so many different ways. I have mixed the banana slices in the batter. I've mixed the pecans in the batter. I have just put the banana slices with sugar on top the cooked pancakes. I put the sugar in the mixed batter instead of with the bananas. I've used whole pecans and finely chopped pecans. Once, I didn't add the cinnamon. I have made so many mistakes with this recipe yet everyone has always loved them no matter what way I've made them. They're always a big hit! These pancakes are bursting with bananas! They have mashed banana in the batter and sliced bananas embedded as they cook.
