Pete and I work at the local farmers’ market every Saturday morning. It’s a lot of fun … if you don’t count the waking up early part. We have to be up at 5:30 in the morning, so that means preparing everything we can the night before. Having an easy grab-and-go breakfast is a big help. That’s why I make these Chocolate Chip Banana Pancakes.

They’re super easy to make in a large batch. So you make a bunch, then freeze them. When you are hungry for them, just pull out a couple, microwave them, and you’re ready to go.

I make two batches when I made these. One batch is plain banana pancakes, then second is chocolate chip banana pancakes. You can make 8 to 10 pancakes per banana, so keep that in mind.

Also keep in mind that these aren’t the 2 ingredient banana pancakes were are popular on Pinterest a few years ago. Those are just bananas and eggs. I’ve heard they don’t taste like pancakes, but people call them pancakes because they’re made on a griddle in the shape of a pancake.

Those are great, but they won’t satisfy your hankering for a pancake breakfast.

Your cooking time with vary based on how high your heat is. I do mine on medium-high heat and it’s about two minutes per side. That leaves them just a little mushy in the middle, giving you a great banana taste and texture. If you don’t do this, your pancakes will still taste good, but it defeats the purpose of having banana in them in the first place.

You can eat them now or keep them in a freezer-safe bag.
