Banana Pancakes

I had gotten a bunch of bananas from Bountiful Baskets and we just couldn't eat them all before they went bad. I made banana muffins which I just posted the recipe to. I also made banana pancakes. My husband was really skeptical about banana pancakes but now they are his favorite and I have already been requested to make them again.

Tools:

Mixing Bowl
Griddle
Whisk
Potato Masher
Measuring Cups

Ingredients:

1/2 C Flour
1/2 C Wheat Flour
1 Tbs Sugar
2 tsp Baking Powder
1/4 tsp Salt
1 Egg
1 C Milk
2 Tbs Canola Oil
2 to 3 Ripe Bananas

Directions:

Combine all dry ingredients and mix until combined. Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry and whisk until smooth and no lumps.

Heat the griddle to medium heat and oil it. Measure a 1/4 C of the mixture and pour onto griddle. Cook on one side until it bubbles on the sides then flip and cook for 2 minutes or until cooked through.

Then Enjoy! I put nutella on mine, its really yummy.

Banana Muffins

My husband and son both love banana muffins but do not like nuts in the mix. All the muffin mixes that I have found in stores have some kind of nuts in them, so I decided with a bunch of left over banana's I would make homemade banana muffins. They turned out better than I thought they would! 

Tools:



Mixing bowl
Potato Masher
Whisk
Measuring Cups
Muffin Tins



Ingredients:



1 C Flour
1/2 C Wheat Flour
1 C Quick Cooking Oats
2 tsp Baking Powder
1tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Salt
1 Egg
1 C Bananas, mashed
3/4 C Milk
1/3 C Canola Oil
1/2 C Sugar
1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract



Directions:



Pre-heat oven to 400­°F. Combine all dry ingredients and mix. 

Then combine the wet ingredients with dry. Whisk until smooth and all flour is combined. 

Either butter the muffin tins or use the papers. Fill to the top and bake for 20 minutes or until baked completely through.

Then let cool for about 20 minutes and enjoy!
