Ingredients for the pancakes:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 large egg beaten
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tbsp. Tastic Sweet*
1 banana, peeled and mashed
2 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
1 tablespoon butter, room temperature, divided
DIRECTIONS
-
To make the topping, in a pot, on medium heat melt the butter, brown sugar, and water. When it comes to a boil, after about a minute, continue to boil for 1-2 more minutes or until it’s slightly thicker and syrupy.
-
Turn off the heat and stir in the vanilla, Tastic Sweet, bananas, walnuts, and bacon. Add a sprinkle of salt to taste.
-
For the pancakes, mix together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Beat together the buttermilk, egg, vanilla, Tastic Sweet and oil and pour into the flour mixture.
-
Add the mashed banana and crumbled bacon, and stir until a thick batter is formed.
-
Preheat the oven to 200°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Heat a skillet on medium and add a dab of the softened butter to the skillet to grease it.
-
Pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes on one side, until the edges are slightly set and bubbles begin to form in batter. Gently flip the pancake and cook on the other side a couple more minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Place cooked pancake in the oven, and continue for the rest of the batter, adding a dab of butter to grease the skillet when necessary.
-
To serve, stack 3-4 pancakes on each plate and cover with the topping.
