banana pancakes. with banana caramel topping...


If you asked either of my girls what their favorite breakfast is, this would be in the top 3.  And let me tell you that is a rare event, as they both thrive on being as different from each other as possible...  This recipe came to our family from my childhood, it was a favorite with (most of) my siblings as well. We save it for special occasions, (like weekends!) you know, to keep it special...

Banana Pancakes
1 cup mashed bananas
2 cups bisquick baking mix
2 eggs
1 cup milk

Mix together baking mix, eggs and milk until smooth.  Turn in bananas.  Pour thinly 1/4 cup batter onto hot griddle. (Or use your cool smiley face pancake maker like mine!) Let cook until dry around edges.  Turn, cook until golden brown.  Serve with topping.

*We sometimes just use one of our favorite 'regular' pancake recipes and add the mashed bananas in, it works just the same.

Banana Caramel Topping
3 medium bananas, diagonally sliced
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup whipping cream (milk can be substituted)
1/4 cup light corn syrup
2 tablespoons margarine or butter
1 teaspoon vanilla

Mix brown sugar, whipping cream, butter, corn syrup and vanilla in saucepan. Let boil, stirring occasionally.  Remove from heat, add bananas, stir gently until well coated. 
*We usually double the syrup but not the bananas. 

On really special occasions, we top it with cool whip. :o)

Enjoy!
