So last weekend I was about to make breakfast and I noticed I had a couple of overripe bananas about to go bad and be thrown out so I decided to make banana pancakes for breakfast. When I went to grab the milk out of the fridge was when I saw a pint of strawberries that also needed to be used, so I figured: strawberry banana pancakes. Then for a twist, I thought I'd throw some heart-healthy oatmeal and walnuts in there and hope for the best. I really wasn't expecting much. How they turned out, though, was absolutely melt-in-your-mouth delicious! The strawberry and banana paired so well together and the walnuts added a new taste and texture to pancakes. The recipe is as follows:
Mash up one ripe banana
Mix with 3/4 c. Bisquick (I was in a hurry!)
1/4 c. oatmeal
1/2 c. milk
1 egg
cinnamon to taste
chopped strawberries, about one large handful
1 1/4 c. sour cream
1/4 c. walnuts
As with any pancakes, heat up your cooking surface on medium or medium-high. I used a griddle. Plop a large spoonful of batter down on the surface and wait until you see bubbles forming throughout the pancakes to flip them. Once flipped, let them cook a few more minutes on the other side and that's it. Top with some butter (I like Smart Balance Light) and light syrup. They are really quick, easy, and taste like you spent hours perfecting them. Good luck!
