Serves 4

• 1 banana, plus more for garnish
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1 egg
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• pinch salt
• vanilla
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
• 4 large strawberries, plus more for garnish
• 1 cup maple syrup
• For garnish: fresh strawberries & banana slices

1. Place banana, flour, egg, baking powder, salt, vanilla, buttermilk, sugar, and strawberries into a blender. Puree until smooth.
2. Heat a nonstick pan or griddle over medium heat. Spray pan lightly with nonstick cooking spray. If using pancake molds, spray them lightly as well, then set onto the hot griddle.
3. Drizzle batter into the molds and allow batter to cook until bubbles begin to form on the inside of the pancake. (Or just measure out roughly 1/4 cup of batter per pancake for traditional rounds.) Gently remove the molds from the pan. Once bubbles form, flip pancakes and cook until the second side is golden brown.
4. Serve pancakes topped with fresh strawberries, bananas, and maple syrup. Enjoy!
