Banana Bread Pancakes with Peanut Butter Syrup


Banana Bread Pancakes with Peanut Butter Syrup Recipe l www.a-kitchen-addiction.com

Ever since making banana bread waffles, I’ve wanted to try banana bread pancakes. We always seem to have a couple of bananas that are too ripe or just starting to get too ripe. So the other night (Yes, night. That’s when we have time to make breakfast food!), I decided it was about time I give them a try.

These pancakes are loaded with chunks of banana and lots of cinnamon and nutmeg. All of the banana makes these slightly denser than your average pancake, but the result is a pancake that tastes a lot like a warm, thick slice of banana bread. Using whole wheat flour and non-fat buttermilk makes these a healthy option for breakfast, lunch or dinner!

I knew right away that I wanted to top these pancakes with a simple peanut butter syrup. I already put peanut butter and a little syrup on my pancakes, so I figured I may as well mix them together with a little vanilla extract. So good! You may just find yourself pouring the syrup over more than just pancakes. . .

My mom said when I was younger I refused to eat pancakes until she started putting the peanut butter syrup on them. My husband thinks I am totally weird every time I put it on them. Now I love all kinds of pancakes so I am definitely going to have to try this recipe!
