Do you eat pancakes for breakfast or do you eat them for dinner? Either way these Roasted Banana Pancakes are something you should try!
The flavor of the mashed roasted banana and the creaminess of the yogurt in these makes them very moist and flavorful. Pancakes are something I enjoy and actually we normally eat them more for dinner than we do for breakfast. Breakfast around here is a little low key. It normally consist of cereal, yogurt, rice cakes and muffins that I have made the day before.
When it comes to dinner we do it up! We usually have a full meal that consist of most of your food groups. Are food groups a thing you consider when you are cooking? Sometimes I stress are we getting enough dairy? Did the kids have enough fruit today?
Well these pancakes consist of a couple of your food groups. They have fruit, dairy and grain. I also sprinkled mine with walnuts so that counts for protein as well! We almost have a complete well rounded meal, in these simple to make pancakes! Now I feel challenged! Next time I make pancakes I will try to get in all the food groups! I see pumpkin in my future! ENJOY!

I’ve made these many times but I have never roasted them. I tend to throw bananas into the freezer and just thaw them out for about 1/2 hour before use. But why do you call for 3 in the recipe ingredients, but only use two in the directions.? Or did I miss something?
Nancy P.
Nope didn’t miss anything, my mistake but now it is fixed!

These look so good, Nancy! I once made banana pancakes but they turned out pretty horrible. I think I used too much mashed banana in them. I’m going to have to give them a try again soon. Thanks for sharing this recipe. Pinned!
