Banana Bread Pancakes

I am currently in Denver visiting my best friend! Colorado is awesome. Almost as awesome as pancakes. This morning I got to cook in her kitchen, which is so much nicer than mine. It's very grown up and full of counter space and organized spices. 

Yum, banana mush. 

Although I used all-purpose flour, the original recipe called for whole wheat pastry flour, which I'm sure would also be good. I'm not sure if it was the altitude or I am just really good at making pancakes, but these looked quite pretty. 

 Next time I would definitely add chocolate chips and maybe walnuts.

I fed them to Stef and her boyfriend, who is visiting from England. He was also the very first person I know of to actually try to make a recipe off my blog at home!

They ate them plain, but I added butter and brown sugar on top. The original recipe also included a recipe for a vanilla maple glaze which I'm sure would be delicious as well.
