Banana Pancakes with Peanut Butter and Jelly Syrups

Calling kids of all ages! We can easily go back to our childhoods with just one bite of this classic flavor combo - PB & J.

Makes: 12 (4-inch) pancakes

Preparation Time: 9 min

Cooking Time: 7 min

Ingredients

• 2 cups biscuit mix
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 cup mashed banana
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 3/4 cup maple syrup
• 1/4 cup regular or reduced-fat peanut butter spread
• Strawberry syrup

Instructions

1. Whisk together first 5 ingredients in a large bowl just until dry ingredients are moistened.
    
2. Melt 1 tablespoon butter on a hot griddle; pour about 1/4 cup batter for each pancake onto griddle. Cook pancakes until tops are covered with bubbles; turn and cook other side of pancakes. Repeat procedure with remaining butter and pancake batter.
    
3. Whisk together maple syrup and peanut butter until smooth. Serve pancakes with peanut butter mixture and strawberry syrup.

Notes

I like to serve 'em on the weekend for breakfast or even as a fast weeknight dinner. For fun pint-sized servings, try pouring 1 tablespoon of the batter per pancake on the hot griddle to make mini pancakes.
