My youngest (Miss 9) went on her first school camp this week. I was so nervous about her going, being my baby and all. However I was also worried about her being cold, did I pack her enough clothes and blankets? I woke really early on Wednesday morning as I couldn’t sleep, I had a bowl full of overripe bananans so I thought I’d make her some yummy banana pancakes before she goes off to camp. Usually I would never have the time or desire to make pancakes on a school morning, I was just up early worried about her going away for 2 nights… needless to say she came home yesterday happy and with so many stories.
These pancakes were easy to make, light, fluffy and delicious.

Your banana pancakes look delicious! I’m sure they would only last two minutes with my munchkins 🙂 Thankyou for the great recipe…I hope your daughter enjoys her school camp 🙂 I feel for you ~ it’s so tough when they get to this age and start venturing further from home! I never slept well when my children went to camp either..
Thank you Chantell, she had a great time. She took a little locket with her which I filled with loads and loads of kisses… apparently this helped her every night 😉
Thanks for the yummy pancake recipe! My 3 year old daughter saw your photo on my email and insisted we make them for breakfast. We did and thoroughly enjoyed them. I’m sure they’ll be a family favourite.
Hope she enjoyed them Prue!
This was breakfast this morning. Sooo good! Ran out of maple syrup, need more next time.
Soo soo good, glad you loved it!
I love this recipe as do my kids. It’s now my favourite pancake recipe. Thanks so much
My 2 year old loves helping in the kitchen and wanted to bake something this morning. I’ve recent purchased a bellini and had rotten bananas so this recipe was perfect! Especially since it doesn’t have any sugar unlike the banana pancake recipes I usually use. Needless to say my daughter enjoyed helping make and eat them. Thanks for sharing!
