What is it about Dads and their special weekend pancakes? Or at least it is weekends in our house J I don’t know, but I certainly enjoy it! I thought I would share with you my husband’s recipe for weekend pancakes.
Dad’s Blueberry-Banana Pancakes
Ingredients:
1 ½ cups all purpose flour (for a change up sometimes we do ¾ white flour & ¾ whole wheat)
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
2 large eggs
1 ¼ cups milk
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Butter for skillet
Frozen Blueberries (or fresh if you have them)
Sliced Banana
Directions:
Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, beat eggs, and then mix in the milk and vanilla extract.
Heat a skillet or griddle. If needed add butter to prevent sticking.
Combine the egg mixture with the flour mixture and whisk until it is the consistence of a thick batter.
Ladle batter into the skillet to make pancake.
After about 30 seconds when the pancake starts to slightly firm sprinkle with blueberries and banana slices.
When bubbles appear on the surface of the pancake and the underside is golden brown flip the pancake.
Cook about 1 – 2 more minutes until browned on second side and cooked through.
If needed add more butter to the skillet in-between pancakes, and repeat with the remaining batter and fruit.

Dad’s Blueberry-Banana Pancakes Birthday Style
Our favorite addition to these pancakes is maple syrup.
Groceries for a family can be expensive; however there are a few pantry items I feel are worth splurging on. Good maple syrup is one of them. Some maple syrups are not even actually made of maple syrup, just flavoured sugar. Good maple syrup goes a long way so I find you use less, meaning more flavor and often less calories.
Another pantry item I splurge on is vanilla extract. Having a love for baking I ♥ a wonderful quality vanilla extract!
