Best Ever Banana Pancakes

banana pancakes

Here is another pancake recipe. These pancakes may be the best ever. Seriously. Even my husband, the pancake purist, loves them. I recommend using large chunks of banana; they will almost melt when they hit the heat.

1Cup White Whole Wheat Flour

1/2 Cup All Purpose Flour

½ Cup Quick Cook Oatmeal (not instant)
2 ½ tsp Baking Powder
Pinch of salt
1 egg
1 1/2 Cups of Milk
2 heaping tbs sour cream (I use reduced fat)

2 Tbsp Melted Butter
1 tsp Vanilla Extract

1 tsp Vanilla Bean Paste (found at Williams-Sonoma)

¼ tsp almond extract
1/4 tsp Cinnamon
1 Banana, Crushed

Combine the dry ingredients and wet separately with the exception of the butter. Blend the wet and dry together, do not over stir. Fold in the melted butter.
Cook over medium heat in a pan with melted butter, add the banana pieces and cook until lightly brown on both sides. Serve with hot maple syrup and sprinkle of cinnamon.
