BANANA PANCAKES
These banana pancakes are quick and easy to prepare and the perfect way to use up leftover bananas. Often when we have overripe bananas, we think of making banana bread. While it is delicious, it is a dessert and not a breakfast item. In a lot of Jamaican household, banana fritters are the closest breakfast item to these pancakes. I love that these banana pancakes are the perfect cross between banana fritters and buttermilk pancakes.
