Spiced Blueberry Banana Pancakes with Peanut Butter & Jam. Recipe
By JuliaDrake
This morning treat turns any regular work day into a Sunday extravaganza. Yet, it’s fast and easy to prepare, and combines just the right mix of wholesome nutrition, nutty sweetness, and tangy spice, to get you charged for the day. You can make these pancakes from scratch, but to be quick, I suggest a ready-made mix, such as Grandma Nunweiler’s Buttermilk Pancake & Waffle Mix, or Hodgson Mill Whole Wheat Buttermilk Pancake Mix. Although both brands suggest adding a bit of milk, eggs and oil, the pancakes taste great just mixed with water.
Note: Using water yields fewer pancakes than when adding eggs and oil.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup of pancake mix
- 2/3 -3/4 cup water (depending on desired thickness of pancakes)
- 2 medium bananas
- 3/4 cup of blueberries
- 2 tablespoons crunchy/creamy peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon jam (preferably dark fruit, such as blackberry/black raspberry
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon all-spice
- 1 tsp of canola oil or cooking spray for the griddle
INSTRUCTIONS
- Mix the pancake mix and water in a bowl. (Or, if desired, add eggs and milk as directed in pancake mix instructions). Let stand for 5 minutes.
- Add the 3/4 cup of blueberries, and the cinnamon to the mix.
- Cut the bananas into thin slices.
- Warm the oil in a cooking griddle or coat the surface with cooking spray.
- Pour 1/4 cup of the pancake batter into the griddle and cook until it turns brown on the side, then flip and brown the other side. Repeat with the rest of the pancakes.
- Spread the peanut butter equally on the pancakes, then the jam.
- Top with banana slices and sprinkle with all-spice.
