Warning, kids love this banana pancakes recipe but you don't want them to cover the banana pancakes with golden or maple syrup. These syrups are fully of sugar, are fattening and just plain un-healthy.A breakfast of this banana pancakes recipe when served with fresh fruit (think berries) and cream will be plenty sweet enough, the fruit is even good for your kids, especially if you can't get your kids eating fruit at other times.
