Ingredients

Units Scale

For the pancake batter:

  • 1 cup all-purpose baking mix
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 very ripe bananas, mashed with a fork

For the Caramel-Banana Syrup

  • 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 bananas (fresh, not over-ripe), sliced 1/4-inch thick

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose baking mix and poppy seeds. Add buttermilk, egg, melted butter, vanilla, and mashed bananas. Using a fork, gently mix the ingredients until all ingredients are well combined and no pockets of flour remain. Do not overmix.
  2. In a nonstick skillet heated over medium heat, brush pan with butter or spray with nonstick spray. Add batter to the pan, about 1/3 cup per pancake. Cook each pancake over medium heat until the surface and edges have a somewhat “dry” appearance and the bottom surface is golden brown. (Check periodically for done-ness by lifting an edge with a spatula, but try not to fuss with them too much.) Flip pancake gently, cooking remaining side until golden brown. Repeat until all batter is used.
  3. While pancakes are cooking, make the Caramel-Banana Syrup. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons unsalted butter. Add brown sugar and water, and stir to combine. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. (Keep an eye on your pancakes too!) Once boiling, cook for a minute or two until mixture has thickened somewhat and caramelized. Once you've reached your desired consistency (for thicker syrup, just cook an extra 30 seconds or so), remove from heat and stir in vanilla and sliced bananas. Serve immediately.

Notes

Try the Caramel-Banana Syrup on waffles or French Toast also. It's amazing!
