Batter Dipped Banana Slice Pancakes
Slices of fresh banana dipped in pancake batter and pan-fried for the ultimate breakfast recipe. These tasty morsels are all pancake on the outside and gooey banana inside. Dipped in syrup they are undeniable and ready in less than ten minutes!
Ingredients
- 2 bananas
- 1 cup pancake or waffle mix
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 tsp vanilla
- non-stick spray
- maple syrup for dipping
Instructions
- Peel and slice bananas into coins less than 1/4" thick.
- Whisk the water, pancake mix, and vanilla in a shallow bowl until the mix is completely moistened.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and spray with non-stick cooking spray or butter.
- Using a fork, roll each slice around in the batter so it's completely covered. Scoop them out and place them in the skillet.
- Work in batches of 4-6 slices at a time. Fry each slice for a minute or two on each side. Watch that they don't brown too fast as you want the batter to cook around the sides of the banana. If they brown too fast, turn your heat down.
- A small spatula or chopsticks work best to flip the banana slices. Once done, remove from heat. Repeat until all your slices are fried.
- Serve warm with a small dish of maple syrup for dipping. Alternatively, you can dust them with powdered sugar or serve them with fruit or whipped cream.
- Best enjoyed on the same day although they do keep in the fridge for a couple of days in an airtight container. They lose their chewy texture once refrigerated.
