Closet Cooking

Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

Banana Buttermilk Pancakes

[heart_this] · Mar 9, 2008 · 50 Comments

Banana Buttermilk Pancakes

One of the good things about the weekend is that you have more time to make a good breakfast. It had been a while since I last had pancakes and I was craving them. I had some over overripe bananas in the freezer and I though they would go nicely in the pancakes. I also had some buttermilk in the fridge so it became banana buttermilk pancakes with maple syrup. They turned out pretty good. They were nice and moist and fluffy. I enjoyed the banana flavour of the pancakes. I garnished the pancakes with slices of bananas and some pecans. They were a great way to start off a day on the weekend.

    Hmmm. Interesting. I’ve never put mashed bananas in our banana pancakes. I always throw the slices onto the batter after I’ve ladled it onto the griddle. I’ll have to check out this method!

    I’ve always sliced bananas into pancakes, never thought of doing the mash and adding them to the mix – what a great idea. You just opened a new door for me – thanks for that – and they look delicious and all that maple syrup goodness -drool.

    These did not work for me. Pancakes with fruit puree never turn out fluffy. Instead they are always soggy in the middle and never fluffy like the picture.

    Your pancakes are possible the moistest, fluffy, and tender looking on google images. It goes without saying that I will be making them for breakfast tomorrow! I featured pancakes on my humble food site, but they looked nowhere near as good as yours: http://funfoodfeed.com/2012/03/

    Mine turned out a little flat and wet, so I added 1/4 cup more flour and 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda (because of the buttermilk) and it really fluffed them up 100 percent.
