Remember when I said I wanted to teach yoga? Ha. Well. I still do — don’t worry. But all of a sudden I am TEACHING YOGA — I have six classes on my schedule next week… which is way more than I ever anticipated. Only three of them are my regularly scheduled classes (which will continue indefinitely!), but I’m subbing for three more. I was thinking I’d be teaching like ONE class per week — just to practice and get better … but I guess when it rains it pours! I’m excited, and hoping that this means my learning curve will be a lot steeper. I know I still have a lot of experience to gain before I feel really comfortable at the front of the class. Luckily I’ll have plenty of opportunities to challenge myself!
I do feel comfortable in front of these pancakes — this I know for sure! I first made these a few years ago, and revisited them this week with a few tweaks (and non-iPhone photography). When I take a look at my old recipes (and even how I wrote them, and in what order I put the ingredients) I can really see how far I’ve come in the last few years. Yes, it’s slightly horrifying to see what I actually did, but it’s a great reminder that with practice: we can get better! So, I’m going to assume the pancake/yoga-teacher improvement continuum is pretty much the same. Err… you know what I mean.
These panqueques have mashed banana (!!) and pecans — so they’re basically like this banana bread in pancake form. AKA AWESOME.
ENJOY! xo
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 4 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup mashed bananas (2 large)
- 1¾ cups flour
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup finely chopped pecans
- Whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, vanilla, and banana.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients. Combine with the wet ingredients and whisk until mostly combined (don't over-mix).
- Heat a nonstick griddle over medium heat, and when it's hot pour ⅓ cup at a time onto the griddle. Cook until each side is golden brown, and serve topped with maple syrup and extra pecans.
These sound delicious! I love banana bread and pancakes. Sounds like my kind of combination 🙂
Thanks, Tina! Enjoy!
My kids love them! Thanks for the recipe!
Yay! Thanks, Caroline! Xo
