Banana Pancakes with Peanut Butter and Jelly Syrups

I love PB&J'S so I knew these would be awesome. Anything with peanut butter is bound to be good :) The peanut butter syrup goes so well with banana flavored pancakes. I like to cut banana slices to go along with the pancakes. If you love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches... you gotta make these. ENJOY



Yield: 12 (4-inch) pancakes
Ingredients

* 2 cups biscuit mix
* 1 cup buttermilk
* 1 cup mashed banana
* 2 large eggs
* 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 3 tablespoons butter or margarine
* 3/4 cup maple syrup
* 1/4 cup reduced-fat peanut butter spread

Preparation

Whisk together first 5 ingredients in a large bowl just until dry ingredients are moistened.

Whisk together maple syrup and peanut butter until smooth. Serve pancakes with peanut butter mixture and strawberry syrup.

Pumpkin Pancake With Nutmeg Whip Cream

These pumpkin pancakes are a great way to kick off Fall. They have an awesome cinnamon/pumpkin flavor and taste great with the nutmeg whip cream and maple syrup. I enjoyed these a lot and will be making plenty more. I added about 1/4 cup more milk than what the recipe called for, the batter seemd a little thick. I would highly recomend these with the nutmeg whip cream.

2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups milk
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 egg
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons vinegar

Directions

1.In a separate bowl, mix together the milk, pumpkin, egg, oil and vinegar. Combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, allspice, cinnamon, ginger and salt, stir into the pumpkin mixture just enough to combine.
2.Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.


Nutmeg whipped cream

1 cup whipping cream
2 tablespoons white sugar
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Buttermilk Pancakes

As you can probably tell I LOVE breakfast foods. Yes, even for dinner. I love these buttermilk pancakes. To be honest I always made pancakes with bisquick until I was married. Now, I could never go back to just plain bisquick pancakes. These pancakes are SUPER fluffy and taste super yummy. They actually taste even better made the next day. I like to add blueberries or chocolate chips to make them even more delicious. It's really important not to over stir these, the batter is supposed to be lumpy.

*** If you don't have buttermilk on hand you can make your own. 1 cup milk + 1 tbsp acid like lemon juice or vinegar.***

Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons white sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
3 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup milk
3 eggs
1/3 cup butter, melted

Directions

1.In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat together buttermilk, milk, eggs and melted butter. Keep the two mixtures separate until you are ready to cook.
2.Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. You can flick water across the surface and if it beads up and sizzles, it's ready!
3.Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture, using a wooden spoon or fork to blend. Stir until it's just blended together. Do not over stir! Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/2 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.

4.Return to the oven and bake until the pancake is puffed and no longer moist in the center, 20 to 25 minutes.

Wonderful Waffles

These are a breakfast favorite of ours. They come out super fluffy and perfect every time. The brown sugar gives these a nice rich flavor. I have tried MANY waffle recipes and these are by far the best! If you have leftover waffles they are great thrown in the freezer and can be re heated easily. They taste superb.

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 3 egg yolks
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 3 egg whites

Directions

1. Preheat waffle iron. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt; set aside.
2. In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolks. Blend in flour mixture alternately with buttermilk.
3. In a large glass or metal mixing bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold 1/3 of the whites into the batter, then quickly fold in remaining whites until no streaks remain.
4. Spray waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray, or lightly brush with oil. Ladle the batter onto preheated waffle iron. Cook the waffles until golden and crisp. Serve immediately.
