Tuesday’s Dish – Banana Pancakes

This week I am sharing something new we tried — Banana Pancakes. My daughter just LOVES pancakes and my son, the picky eater, will actually eat pancakes and bananas so we thought we’d try this combo.  It was a hit!!!

Ingredients:

• 1 c. all-purpose flour
• 1 Tbsp white sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 beaten egg
• 1 c. milk
• 2 Tbsp olive oil (or vegetable oil)
• 2 ripe bananas, mashed (we use our frozen banana stash)

Directions

1. Combine flour, white sugar, baking powder and salt. Mix together egg, milk, vegetable oil and bananas in a separate bowl.
2. Mix flour mixture into banana mixture.  (It will be a little lumpy.)
3. Heat slightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Put batter onto the griddle, (about 1/4 c. per pancake). Cook until pancakes are golden brown on both sides.
4. Serve hot with syrup or just margarine. Try blueberry syrup or strawberry syrup for added fruity taste, or light strawberry or blueberry jam.
