I played around with some flavored pancakes and found that if you use a package of pudding mix, it adds a great flavor! It does make your pancakes a little less fluffy, so if you don’t like a denser pancakes, stay clear! Also, this recipe calls for whole wheat pancakes but you can use any mix you prefer. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
Aunt Jemina whole wheat pancake mix
one egg
1 tbsp oil
1 package of Jell-o instant banana cream pudding
2 bananas
cinnamon
nutmeg
vanilla extract
light syrup
powder sugar to garnish
Steps:
1. Prepare pancake mix as directed on box. Use 1/3 less mix because you are going to add in the pudding
2. Add 1/2 package of banana cream pudding mix and blend together. When blended, add 2 tsp nutmeg and 1 tsp vanilla.
3. Spray two skillets with Pam and heat on the stove top
4. Slice your fresh bananas about 1/2 inch thick. Place onto heated skillet and sprinkle with cinnamon. Cook 2 minutes per side.
5. In your other skillet, pour 1/3 cup of batter into the center and cook about 2-3 minutes per side. You will start to see bubbles rise to the top of the pancake when it is ready to be flipped. Also, the whole wheat pancakes take a bit longer to cook through the middle and will appear darker in cooler… they aren’t burnt!
6. Plate your cooked pancake, top with 5 slices of the cinnamon banana, powdered sugar and syrup.

Perfect for Sunday breakfast. I would have never thought to caramelize the bananas before hand – Great Tip!
