Funny thing at my house, my daughter is rail thin but she is obsessed with two things. Ice cream and pancakes. On St Patrick’s Day here in Savannah, I’ll make green pancakes, it has become a tradition. Beyond that, she is beginning to experiment with different fruit toppings and additions to her pancakes. Her favorite is bananas. Now to be fair, adding pancakes and syrup and sugar and butter to you pancakes could leave you with flattened banana nut cakes, but this freeze dried fruit could be a better alternative. I gave this recipe a look. Haven’t tried it yet, quite frankly, but we thought we’d share it. Let me know if you try it at home.
