Baked Banana-Pecan Pancake
The 1895 Inn, Savannah GA USA
INGREDIENTS --
Toppings:
2 ripe bananas, sliced
1 cup warm maple syrup, to taste
Pancake:
1 cup flour
1 tablespoon (packed) light brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 large egg
6 ounces vanilla or banana yogurt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup (mashed) very ripe banana (can also add/substitute other fresh fruit)
½ cup pecans, chopped (optional)
DIRECTIONS --
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a nine-inch pie dish with nonstick cooking spray. In large bowl, whisk together first five ingredients. In another bowl beat together egg, yogurt, oil and vanilla. Add egg mixture to dry ingredients, stirring just until evenly combined. Fold in mashed banana and chopped pecans.
2. Pour batter into pie pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Cut into 6 wedges.
3. Serve warm with toppings.
Note: While Banana pancakes are popular among backpackers and other travelers traveling along the "Banana Pancake Trail", often beginning in Bangkok and weaving through South Asia and Southeast Asia, this southern pancake version featuring Georgia pecans is served elegantly in the 1895 Inn's genteel setting. Fresh fruit, bacon, and coffee round out the inclusive breakfast at this top-rated Savannah bed and breakfast inn.
