Ingredients

Ingredients

  • ripe medium bananas (thinly sliced)
    2
  • buckwheat pancake mix
    1 cup
  • milk (fat-free )
    2 3/4
  • pancake syrup (light)
    4 tbsp
Directions

Directions

  1. Mash one half of the banana slices and place in a medium bowl with the pancake mix and the milk. Stir until just blended.

  2. Place a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. (To test, sprinkle with a few drops of water. If the water drops “dance” or jump in the pan, it’s hot enough.) Coat the skillet with nonstick cooking spray, add two scant 1/4 cup measures of batter, and cook the pancakes until puffed and dry around the edges, about 1 minute.

  3. Flip the pancakes and cook until golden on the bottom. Place on a plate and cover to keep warm.

  4. Recoat the skillet with nonstick cooking spray, add three scant 1/4 cup measures of batter, and cook as directed. Repeat with the remaining batter.

  5. Place 2 pancakes on each of 4 dinner plates, top with equal amounts of banana slices, and drizzle evenly with the syrup. If you like, place the dinner plates in a warm oven and add the pancakes as they are cooked.

    This recipe calls for WAY TOO MUCH milk! My pancake mix calls for 2/3-3/4 cup of liquid to 1 cup of mix. I had to add lots of mix to get this to batter consistency. The pancakes are good but I think that is because of the mix rather than the addition of the banana. This is a good breakfast option for us pancake-lovers but follow the package directions and throw banana slices on top!????
