BANANA GRANOLA PANCAKES

submitted by Leslie Atkins, Chico, CA (by way of Norwich, VT)

I toss some chopped granola and sliced bananas into my favorite pancake batter, top with butter and syrup. Mmmm. Here’s the recipe–

1 c flour
3/4 c whole wheat flour
1/2 t salt
1 T sugar
3 t baking powder
2 eggs
1 1/2 c milk
4 T melted butter

3/4 c. Nutty Steph’s granola
1 thinly sliced ripe banana

Mix the dry ingredients together (flour, salt, sugar, powder); in another bowl mix the wet ingredients well (eggs, milk, melted butter). Add wet to dry and mix lightly. Chop granola (to chop up the nuts); slice banana thinly. Fold granola and banana into batter. (You might need to add milk or flour to get it just right- should be a thick batter to hold the granola and bananas.)

Ladle onto griddle, turn once, eat with maple syrup!
