My sister, R, awoke this morning with the words "french toast" coming out of her mouth. And then she went back to sleep. I didn't think much of it until I heard her later say, "pancakes...waffles". I thought, this girl definitely has breakfast on the brain. When she was fully awake, I asked her where on earth it came from. All she could say was, I don't know. But then, on a "let's spoil R this morning and treat her to something nice and nourishing" whim, I offered to satisfy her craving by making pancakes for breakfast-- or rather brunch, as it was heading toward lunchtime already. We had some ripening bananas lying around so I just figured I'd make banana pancakes. Sometimes, cooking a nice, wholesome for someone you love is a great way to show them your love and to help kickstart their day right. They were quite tasty I must say and simple to whip together. This recipe is adapted from some site on the internet. Run a google search... if this one doesn't suit you, there are plenty of recipes to be had. Serve with real maple syrup, no imitations, or enjoy like I do.. plain!
