Mother’s Day – Banana Bacon Pancakes

For our first Mother’s Day together, my husband made me Banana Bacon Pancakes. They were delicious. That’s why every year since then, I ask for these pancakes.

First, start by cutting up your bacon into small pieces and frying on low heat until nice and crisp. Set aside on paper towels until ready to use. Divide into two equal portions.

Second, mash banana/s with masher until coarsely mashed.

Next, in a bowl mix all dry ingredients until incorporated.  Add in all wet ingredients and whisk for 1-2  minutes until mixed but still lumpy. Fold in or mix in mashed bananas and 1/2 portion of bacon. Do not whisk.

Allow non-stick griddle to heat while batter rests. Skillet should be set to Medium Heat. Grease skillet with 1/2 tbsp of butter where pancakes will rest. Pour 1/3 cup of batter onto skillet.

Let pancake to bubble. When majority of bubbles have popped, flip pancake.

Cook on other side for about 1-2 minutes or until evenly browned.  No worries, you can peak!  😉

Remove from heat and butter if desired ( I always… desire butter). Garnish with banana slices and generously sprinkle with bacon.

Sure, they aren’t healthy, but this is MY day and I said BACON!

This is my husband, Dr. Christopher Vogelmann. Love that he makes me these Banana Bacon Pancakes on Mother’s Day. They’re a mix of savory and sweet. Fluffy and soft. Just add a little syrup, and … Mmmm!!!

Whether you are a Mom, Abuelita (Grandmother), Son, or Daughter, I hope that you and your family spend an amazing “Dia de las Mamacitas” as my friends like to call it! Because we are all beautiful, amazing, and deserving of the most amazing things for all we do for our children.
