Nothing like pancakes on a Saturday morning.. I have to say, I did cheat a little this time, but I had some great pancake mix to use- given to me by my best friend, Erin. To make them my own, I added cinnamon and vanilla extract to the batter. I’m also a huge fan of bananas with pancakes. I like them outside the pancakes rather than inside, so they can get a sweet, carmelized flavor. To make a quick topping, just slice a few bananas, throw them in a saucepan with some maple syrup, and cook until carmelized. If they syrup is too sticky or evaporating too quickly, add some water to the mix. You can also do a brown-sugar and butter topping, but if you have the syrup, just make it the easy way. Then you can relax and enjoy a sweet beginning to your weekend.
