Banana Pancakes

I firmly believe that breakfast for dinner is one of the greatest things EVER.  I try to get it on our menu at least once a month, but I try to squeeze it in there even more.  Breakfast foods are some of my favorite to make, because I love the way they make the apartment smell.

I found this recipe on AllRecipes.com.  Fruit in pancakes is always a success in my opinion.

Banana Pancakes {slightly changed from AllRecipes.com}

Ingredients:

• 1 cup self-rising flour
• 1 tbs sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 egg
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tbs vegetable oil
• 2 bananas {plus another for toppings!}

Directions:

1. Preheat the griddle to 350 degrees.
2. Combine flour, white sugar, baking powder and salt in a small bowl.
3. Mash bananas.  I used a whisk, and it worked just fine.
   
4. In a large mixing bowl, mix together egg, milk, vegetable oil and bananas.
5. Stir flour mixture into banana mixture; batter will be slightly lumpy.
6. Spray the griddle with oil. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/8 cup for each pancake. Cook until pancakes are golden brown on both sides; serve hot.

Grade: A+

Comments: These were SO DELICIOUS.  Admittedly, I ate 4 of them!  I couldn’t help myself.  We topped ours with bananas, butter, fat-free syrup, and powdered sugar.  The banana flavor is strong, but it isn’t overpowering.  These would be great with nuts added as well.
