Banana Pancakes with Caramel-Banana Syrup

This review is for the sauce only. I made it using white sugar, as that was all I had. However, since online said you could use molasses to make the sugar sticky and like brown sugar, I decided that peanut butter would work instead of molasses, since I didn't have that either. I only added probably a tablespoon of peanut butter, but it came out really good. I think next time, I'll just use butter, water, peanut butter, and bananas, because it was a little sweet

的banana pancake cannot stand on its own without the caramel. Eaten by itself, it was average and you can hardly taste the bananas in it; with the caramel, it is definitely indulgent--and banana! Even though it was tasty, I probably wouldn't make it again because it was too sugary (with the caramel) to serve to the kids.

Really, really good! Only problem is you need to double the recipe for the caramel banana syrup because you want a lot of it!

Made everything just as written, and the syrup was fantastic! The pancakes were a bit too dense and could have used a little something, like more sugar or a pinch of cinnamon. The rating is just for the syrup. I would give the pancakes a 2 fork rating, at most. Would not make them again, but plan on using the syrup extensively.

I only made the pancakes. They were light and fluffy, great texture, and so simple to make! My kids thought they needed more banana flavor, so I would increase the banana amount next time.

I made the syrup this morning using brown sugar as directed and I am extremely impressed with the caramel/banana flavor. Added rum instead of vanilla extract. Be sure to try the syrup!

I made these without the brown sugar and they were quite good, altho I bet I'll like them even more with brown. I added a bit of Grand Marnier to the syrup trying to get more depth of flavor because of the missing brown sugar, which was nice, but it did not have a caramel flavor. The left over syrup did not keep well as the bananas in it turned rather sickly grey, so be sure to scoop those out and add fresh when using the leftovers. I followed another reviewer's substitution for the self-rising flour since I did not have any. The recipe worked well with equal parts whole wheat and regular flour and a Tbsp of baking powder.

I, too, only made the topping and used it with a different banana pancake recipe. Very good and a little goes a long way.

I only made the syrup to put over french toast, and it tasted great! It was quite sweet so I only needed a little. Super easy and quick to make, and a great alternative if you don't have maple syrup on hand for pancakes or french toast.

I made the syrup only. It seemed too sweet so I added some real maple syrup. Not that it would make it less sweet but added a different flavor. About 1/4 cup. Very good that way. My son really liked it. He is 24.

Delicious! Just made them for brunch this morning and they were a hit. I left out the caramel-banana syrup because I thought that may be too sweet for my taste. The pancakes themselves were fantastic. i'll definitely make them again and maybe next time with the syrup....

的se pancakes are surprisingly easy to make, especially considering how good the finished product tastes. My husband called them the "best pancakes he's ever had." I'm inclined to agree. I'm not a huge fan of sweet syrups, but the combination of the banana syrup and the pancakes was perfect-flavorful without being cloyingly sweet.

太棒了。公司肯定不够好。的pancakes were very fluffy and had just the right amount of banana flavor. The syrup is amazing, and very easy to make. I just realized I used white sugar instead of brown, even after I read another reviewer saying they did the same thing and reminded myself to use brown sugar! They turned out so great, I might just use white sugar again the next time I make them... and i think the next time we might add chopped pecans over the top of the pancakes and syrup.

My review is just for the syrup which I put over purchased frozen waffles. Quick, easy and delicious ...of course I'll do it again.
