Banana Pancakes drizzled with.....

While watching the TODAY SHOW, the cooking secment came on.  They were making chocolate and fried banana pancakes.  It looked so yummy, that I popped up from bed and decided to make them.
I decided to make mine without the shaved chocolate, and add flax seeds instead.  I made a warm caramel and pure maple syrup to drizzle over the pancakes, and topped them with freshly sliced banana and whip cream.  Need I say more?




pancake mix
water according to package directions
flax seed....I only used 1/2 tablespoon


bananas sauteed in butter
till their golden brown


when pancake edges begin to look dry, and bubbles appear on top,.......time to flip
