I'm wrapping up Brunch Week with a family favorite, pancakes. I chose this recipe because the last thing I want to do on a lazy Sunday or Mother's Day is wash a ton of dishes. Since these banana pancakes are mixed in the blender, clean up is super easy. I made a few minor changes to the recipe. I added a teaspoon of vanilla extract and a teaspoon of cinnamon. I find blenders work best when you add the wet ingredients first. I like to coat my griddle pan with nonstick spray but then also add a bit of butter. I've got a nice wide turner that's perfect for pancakes and I cooked them four at a time. I was very happy with how light and fluffy they turned out. You can top them with more bananas and drizzle them with honey or maple syrup, I think they'd also be fantastic with Nutella or peanut butter in between them and I'm definitely going to make the next batch a double and do some with blueberries.

I love how you can see the flecks of black pepper, but obviously once you fill it it all gets covered up so make sure you turn them out the right way. You can definitely purchase all the ingredients for the salad separately but I grabbed two Caesar kits and a container o
