***Healthy Eating Tip: I love freezing these pancakes so the kids can eat these in the morning throughout the week.
Ingredients
Instructions
- PREPARE:
Mash bananas in a zip lock bag – kids love to do this!
- CREATE:
Dry Ingredients: Combine flour, agave, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix beaten eggs, vanilla, milk, oil and bananas.
Stir dry ingredients into wet ingredients. There may be a few lumps, but that’s ok!
- COOK
Heat oiled griddle pan over medium heat. Pour ¼ cup batter (or more for larger pancakes). Once the bottom side gets golden brown, flip the cake and cook the other.
Can be eaten immediately or frozen – Enjoy!
- *** Healthy Eating Tip (continued): If you want to freeze these pancakes, let the pancakes cool down a little and line your plastic bag with paper towel to collect the condensation.
This is a large quantity recipe to fit our our 6-person family. To create a healthy breakfast, we simply take 2-3 pancakes out of the freezer each morning and microwave them for 2 minutes. Instead of using syrup, try toping them with applesauce or fruit. The kids will love them.
