Banana Pancakes with Pina Colada Syrup
Uses from this basket: Banana, pineapple


*I couldn't get a good picture, but trust me--this tastes better than it looks.

• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1/2 cup wheat flour
• 2 Tbsp sugar
• 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 ripe banana
• 1 cup milk
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  
• 4 Tbsp butter, melted
• 1 cup pineapple chunks
• 1/4 cup pina colada drink mix
• 1/4 cup sugar

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix until well blended.

In a separate bowl, mash banana with a fork. Add milk, eggs, and vanilla and stir until blended. Pour the banana mixture and the melted butter into the flour mixture. Mix gently with a rubber scraper until just blended--batter will be somewhat lumpy.

Cook on griddle over medium high heat.

To make syrup, blend pineapple chunks in blender or food processor until smooth. Pour into small pan over medium heat. Stir in drink mix and sugar. Simmer for 2-3 minutes. Serve over banana pancakes.
