Growing up we would top our basic buttermilk pancakes and waffles with peanut butter and maple syrup for a special treat. Because bananas go so well with peanut butter they are the perfect addition to the pancakes. The resulting combination of peanut butter, bananas and maple syrup is one of my favorites. Adding mashed bananas to the pancake batter keeps the hotcake texture light which complements the richness added by swirling some peanut butter into the batter. Once the pancakes are cooked you can then slather them with additional peanut butter, top them with sliced bananas and drizzle them with maple syrup.
