Banana Bread Pancakes

Two banana-centric postings in one week - I think it's clear that I love all things banana. These delicious pancakes would make a fabulous breakfast on any weekend, but especially a holiday weekend. Fit them into your meal planning and you won't be sorry!

Start by combining the milk, eggs, vanilla and mashed bananas



in a large measuring cup or batter bowl. In a small bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon,



nutmeg, baking powder, salt and brown sugar.



Add the dry ingredients to the wet,



and stir until combined and smooth. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. When it's hot, pour about 1/3 cup batter per pancake on the skillet.



Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the tops of the pancakes form bubbles.



Carefully flip the cakes over and cook for another 2 minutes.



Serve hot with butter and syrup!
