    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.

    Bacon on a pan

    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.

    Mashed Banana

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

    Mixing Bowl

    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 ½ 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 ½ tablespoon of butter where pancakes will rest. Pour ⅓ cup of batter onto skillet.

    pancake mix

    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!

    Dr. Christopher Vogelmann and Mother's Day Pancakes

    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.


    Feliz Dia de las Madres, my friends! – Maggie

      I feel like these would be more of a Father’s Day thing, lol! I know plenty of husbands who would love these, but don’t know too many who would cook them for their wives! They look good though.
