  5. Heat a large skillet, lightly greased with oil, melted butter or cooking spray, over medium heat until a drop of water sizzles and dances (if it evaporates immediately lower the temperature). Add a half cup of batter and cook until bubbles appear on surface and edges firm. Turn over with spatula and cook on the other side until golden brown. Repeat, regreasing pan as needed.

  6. Serve immediately (or if needed you can keep warm, covered, in 200F oven) with melted or whipped butter and warmed maple syrup.

This was great. My husband couldn't stop eating them.

I didn't have bananas so added peaches instead. My son, who never eats fruit, devoured them! Excellent recipe.

I love these! There's just a hint of sweetness from the small quantity of sugar and the bananas I used weren't over-ripe so they were just right! I love eating them and feeling like they're good for me...yogurt, oats, bananas. What could be better? Thank you!

I agree - these are the best banana pancakes! My family loved them. Be sure to put on Jack Johnson's "Banana Pancakes" while you whip them up.
