Banana Bread Pancakes (with Chocolate Chips)

October 6, 2015 by Talia Bunting 4 Comments

If you’re a parent, then inevitably your freezer is full of frozen bananas. All you single people are laughing wondering why as a parent, a freezer full of bananas is inevitable. Well I’ll tell you. It’s because bananas are cheap, so you buy bananas for your kids to eat for breakfast. But then he doesn’t want a banana for breakfast. So the bananas sit on the counter until they have big dark spots all over them. And since the thought of throwing away perfectly good bananas is repulsive, you freeze it. And since it would be entirely too logical to start buying fewer bananas—you have a freezer fully stocked with bananas. Problem is, what are you going to do with all those bananas?

Banana Bread Chocolate Chip Pancakes

see how I managed to sneak in even more bananas so I wouldn’t have to put them in the freezer?

There’s only so much banana bread you can make before your neighbors are all, alright already, enough with the banana bread. And the freezer just keeps *magically* filling up with bananas, it’s time to find a way to use them.

Behold, banana bread pancakes (with chocolate chips, because when given the option I will always add chocolate chips).

My Notes about Banana Bread Pancakes

I first had banana pancakes cooked this way in Thailand. I always loved bananas with my pancakes but I never thought of pureeing the banana into my batter, but it’s just so much yummier that way.

If you like thinner pancakes add more milk, if you like them thicker, use less.

For me, the key is almost frying the pancakes in butter. Don’t be shy with the butter. Fats where it’s at ya’ll.
