Pancakes are one of those items I rarely make, I don’t know if it’s because I am uber lazy on Sunday mornings or if it’s because Bob Evans, IHOP and two local diners are less than a mile away from my house. Although not a huge fan of IHOP, I have indulged in one of their “stuffed” creations on several occasions and I am a fan of Bob Evans, just stay away from their egg whites slimy blobs. This morning I woke up super motivated…ready to do laundry, clean and…you guessed it…make pancakes. I do not have a go to recipe for pancakes, so I found one on allrecipes and tweaked it just a bit. These came out super delicious and were the perfect breakfast for a beautiful Sunday morning, too bad my motivation lapsed as soon as it was time to clean the kitchen!
Have a great day…thanks for visiting and be sure to stop back tomorrow for a fun vanilla bean giveaway!

2. Stir flour mixture into banana mixture; batter will be slightly lumpy.

I love pancakes, especially with fruit like bananas and blueberries. The one time I made banana pancakes, I cooked the bananas in a caramel sauce. Made for a super sinful pancake!
Pancakes look lovely!
I love banana pancakes. My 3 yr old nephew loves them too. I take him to Walker Brother's here in the Chicago area and before I can start eating mine he is finished.
have your tried the puffed pancakes that William – Sonoma sells a special pan for. YUM
You have have have to try the "Joy of Cooking" buttermilk pancakes. They are the best, and I have tried a million recipes!
I adore banana pancakes.1
Sounds so good!
Im not so much a fan of Ihop either. But I do LOVE pancakes. Homemade. These banana ones look SO good!! Great pic!!!
Banana pancakes sound delicious! And they look beautiful.
I can't wait to make these, maybe next weekend!
I happen to have 2 ripe bananas that I was trying to figure out what to do with. I think I just found it!
I love banana pancakes, (esp with coconut syrup too). These look delicious!
Those look amazing! I'm usually too lazy to make pancakes on the weekends as well but occasionally I make an exception so I'll have to try these.
Sure look super delicious…great way to begin the day!WOW!!
I am also not much of a fan pf pancakes. Still its an easier option when you have less time for making breakfast. And when eaten hot with maple syrup or any other syrups and fruits, make a decent breakfast.
I will surely try your recipe.
Now that's a breakfast I could use right now! Gorgeous job, and your photos are awesome ! YUM! IHOP doesn't have a thing on you..:)
I can't get enough of banana pancakes. YUM.
Your pancakes look great and so fluffy! I can never get mine fluffy! I have no idea what the heck I'm doing wrong. I've had to stick to the boxed stuff. What a pancake loser, right?! Luckily the kids aren't complaining.

Yum! Another way to use up ripe bananas

Great blog!
I found your blog today thanks to Dine & Dish and I am hooked! You have some really great sounding recipes that I can't wait to try. Since I couldnt' wait and I needed something to fix for supper, the banana pancakes were the ticket. They are great. The banana flavor really comes through and I didn't burn a single pancake. I usually burn the very first one, but not this time. My husband & I really enjoyed them. Thanks!
