Banana Cinnamon Pancakes
I grew up eating pancakes on the weekend with my family, and banana pancakes were my favorite! We always used the "just add water" box mixes, but they were delicious, and it was always such a special time to spend with each other. I didn't realize until I was older how easy it was to make pancakes from scratch! As far as I'm concerned, everyone should have a go-to pancake recipe that can be whipped up in a few minutes and brings back all those great memories. That's why I'm sharing this easy banana cinnamon pancakes recipe with you!
Banana Cinnamon Pancake Recipe
But this isn't just any banana cinnamon pancakes recipe. These are the best banana cinnamon pancakes, loaded with buttery toasted pecans, and drenched in a maple brown butter glaze. I KNOW, RIGHT?! They're such a decadent treat, you'll feel like you're at brunch at your favorite café.
These pancakes are also perfect because they're fluffy, but the banana and sour cream help them to not be too dense or dry like a lot of restaurant or diner pancakes can be. I never knew why I didn't like pancakes from many restaurants until I started making pancakes from scratch -- some restaurant recipes are just too dry! You shouldn't have to drench every bite in syrup. The way I see it, pancakes should have a moist, tender consistency, and a rich buttery taste. That's why in this recipe we're including brown butter in the glaze for the best possible flavor!
