Do you have ripe bananas that your not sure what to do with? Make these pancakes!
Not only are they super easy to make, you don’t need to cover them in maple syrup because they are naturally sweet, moist and delicious. One of my go to sweet breakfast toppings is blueberry compote. For this application, I added a little maple syrup to the compote for a more traditional pancake topping flavor but with way LESS SUGAR then straight syrup. Only 1 tbsp. per serving in my Blueberry Maple Compote (recipe coming soon).
Ripe bananas have the best flavor for making things like pancakes –OR– banana bread.
ALWAYS BUY PASTURED EGGS and NOT cage-free or free-range! Vital Farms is one of my favorites for a few reasons. They have adorable packaging (I’m a graphic designer, I care about these things), and they also take great care of their girls! With 108 sq. feet OUTSIDE per bird to roam free. Their grass fed pasture-raised butter is also fantastic.
Go nuts with the toppings! Pictured here with peanut butter, 2 kinds of coconut butter (that’s the green and blue “goo”), cornflower pedals and bee pollen. Did you know that bee pollen is great for allergy relief and is rich in vitamins and minerals? It’s a bit pricy but definitely worth it.
