Sunday morning is one of my favourite times of the week. My perfect Sunday would consist of relaxing with a cup of coffee or two, SA watching some sport on TV that I would watch (soccer/Formula 1/rugby) or completely ignore (cricket) while I make breakfast. 90% of the time, weekend breakfast in our house consists of fruit/a smoothie for me and eggs for SA, but sometimes we feel like living dangerously and I make muffins or pancakes (we really lead a wild and crazy life). Enter these Extra Banana Banana Pancakes. These pancakes are much lighter then your normal flour pancakes and the extra banana mashed into the batter adds a lot of flavor. Try to use very ripe bananas (the more disgusting and brown they look the better) as it will make a big difference in taste as well as texture. They take about 20-25 minutes to make start to finish and are great topped with maple syrup or even a light drizzle of honey.

If you make this recipe let me know in the comment section below, I would love to hear what you think or take a photo and tag me (@everylastbite_) on Instagram, I love seeing your photos!
