For when you want to make pancakes last longer - these Mini Chocolate Banana Pancakes are perfect
Ever since I created my American Style Pancakes, I have been enjoying them pretty much weekly, topped with fruit and drizzle of a maple syrup, they are one of my favourites. Occasionally I will do them real American Style with some crispy bacon for a few syns, has to be crispy streaky bacon though mind.
Then one morning I was making mini pancakes for the kids and it gave me the idea of these little Mini Chocolate Banana Bites which are perfect for when you fancy something chocolatey that is going to last.
I use a half tbs measurement for pouring little amounts of the batter, so in total got 21 mini pancakes from this American Style Pancakes Batter mix. it does have some baking powder and soda in the mix, which should be synned, but I do not bother synning it because it is such a teeny amount that the syns are negligible.
Now comes for the chocolatey part. I just use a tbs of some warmed chocolate spread. I do recommend warming it slightly, otherwise the 1 tbs will not cover the 21 mini pancakes, as it will be too thick and not spread easily enough, the warming of the spread makes it go so much further as it slides effortlessly onto these mini pancakes with a little spatula.
Then all that is left to do is carefully slice one banana into 21 slices and top each mini pancakes with the banana slices.
There you have it delicious low syn Mini Chocolate Banana Pancakes for just 1 HEb and 5 syns.
These would be great for a movie night, as they are going to last a lot longer and will really feel like such a treat.
Why not vary these up slightly too, by swapping the chocolate spread for peanut butter or jam and different fruits - now there is a thought.
