PIN IT FOR LATER!

We had a lot of snow this week.

Joe was outside shoveling our driveway for the twelfth time this week when I had a brainstorm.

When he came in, I had a hot, heart-shaped banana pancake dotted with chocolate chips waiting for him.

I used pancake mix so that they’d go together quickly, and the addition of the bananas made them out of this world!

How to Make the Best Banana Pancakes with Chocolate Chips

Whisk together the pancake mix and the water. Stir in the mashed bananas and mix well.
Pour 1/3 cup of batter into the skillet.
Before the pancake is cooked through, sprinkle chocolate chips into the the batter.
Let the pancake cook until the edges are beginning to set and bubbles are forming. If you don’t wait long enough, pancake batter will run everywhere when you attempt to flip it.
Flip the pancake over and let the top brown a bit.
To serve, flip the pancake back over (chocolate chips facing up) and serve with a dollop of peanut butter and maple syrup.

My pancake mix batter made 5 1/3 cup pancakes, just enough for Joe, my sister Amanda, Gracie, and me. (I didn’t cook the first one long enough before flipping, and it was ruined.) It was the perfect amount.

We all smeared peanut butter on the hearts and gobbled them down. They were great.
