Along with the simple pancake mix as a base, he, of course, has to have some ripe bananas to add to the mix. Make sure the bananas you use are ripe or they won't mash up properly.  Bananas that have started getting  lot of brown spots on the skin are just perfect for these.  We often grab these for just a few cents a pound on the clearance rack in our produce department then freeze them for recipes like this.

If you want the best Weight Watchers breakfast banana pancakes, using a griddle can prevent sticking and give even browning.  We love our dual purpose waffle iron that also turns into a griddle when you flip the plates over.  One of the best investments in our kitchen ever!  I just spray it with a touch of non-stick spray and set the dial to waffles and voila, perfect place to cook our pancakes in larger batches!

Wait until the pancakes are bubbling all over before flipping them.  This will make sure that they are cooked through.

We add a pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg to the mix to create a delicious and classic banana bread flavor.  If you want to add a bit more crunch, you can even mix in some chopped walnuts.  Remember to count the points for those though!

How to Serve Banana Pancakes

You can top with a little fat-free sugar-free whipped topping, sliced bananas and a drizzle of real maple syrup, or your favorite sugar-free syrup. We prefer them with simply sliced bananas, whipped topping and 1-2 teaspoons of maple syrup.  Skip the butter to save a few calories.

Making a delicious breakfast doesn't mean you have to use all of your calories or points in one place.  Thinking outside the box means you try out different things to create flavors and textures that are pleasing while not requiring loads of unhealthy additions.  Bananas are a wonderful base that provides plenty of natural sugar to give your pancakes a perfect flavor that everyone will love.
