Banana Bread Pancakes

Yeah, the weekend is here! There are so many things I love about the weekend. No work for one thing. Spending time with the kids is another obvious plus.

And one of the best things is having time to make some yummy food that we don’t normally have time for during the week.

Every Sunday is a big brunch day for our family. We wake up and go to the early church service and then get home and make a feast.

Sunday brunch almost always involves pancakes in our house. Have you seen these Strawberry Cheesecake Pancakes yet on my blog? They are seriously to die for!!

These Banana Bread Pancakes that I made last Sunday are absolutely scrumptious!! And they are a perfect way to use up those ripe bananas sitting on your counter before you throw them away

You can make these pancakes as “banana-y” as you like.

When you mash the bananas you can leave them slightly chunky if you want to taste some banana pieces in the pancakes or you can mash the bananas more into a puree if you want your pancakes to have the flavor of bananas but you want the texture to be smooth.

When I made these last Sunday I left them a little chunky because my youngest son likes to taste the banana chunks in the actual pancakes.

We sat around listening to Jack Johnson’s “Banana Pancakes” while eating these. It was such a nice morning.

Oh, and we also always have to have bacon with our pancakes every Sunday. You simply can’t forget the bacon!! 😉

I hope you get a chance to make up a yummy breakfast for your family this weekend!

How about you? What is your favorite part about the weekend??
