I Love Making Homemade Pancakes On Sunday Mornings 

If I haven’t said it enough already, there is just something about pancakes. Sunday mornings should always start with sleeping in and a pancake as big as your face. Because of my obsession, I have tried more pancake flavors than most normal people. It always starts Saturday night as I am falling asleep. Most people would think about their day, or their plans for the next week, but not me.

I lay there planning out breakfast in the morning…what do I have on hand? Do I have buttermilk to make Sweet Hoecakes? Do I have sour cream to make the Sour Cream Jam Stacked Pancakes? The answer to both, no. So I started thinking…what can I use to make my pancakes flavorful and moist if I am out of buttermilk and sour cream. …Oh I know, those two over ripe bananas I have sitting on the counter! Sure I was going to make those Nutella Swirl Muffins, but hey — as I already told you — every Sunday should start with pancakes! 🙂

The Cinnamon Swirl On These Pancakes Is Easy To Make 

I love the swirl on top of these pancakes! Isn’t it fun?? I got the idea to swirl in the cinnamon from Recipe Girl. She did a cinnamon sugared filling, which I am sure is absolutely amazing, however I was trying to cut back a little on the total sugar in the recipe. …not that you could tell that by the enormous amount of syrup being poured on top of those pancakes!

What Do Banana Cinnamon Pancakes Taste Like?

The overall flavor of these Banana Cinnamon Swirl Pancakes is the perfect balance between banana and pancake. The banana is not overwhelming, but is still there. It is kind of reminiscent of banana bread, just not as banana-y. If you didn’t want to go through the effort of swirling in the cinnamon, just add it into the regular batter. It will all taste the same in the end!
