Banana Pancake Stacks Recipe
We love pancakes as a way to eat fruit! On top or in the batter it doesn’t matter to us. This Banana Pancake Stacks recipe has both!
Monday, my son turns 16. His favorite breakfast is pancakes, so we generally make him some for his birthday. When I first started blogging, the poor kid had to pose for me while he ate anything I made so I could post it on the blog. But, since he’s all grown up, he doesn’t carry that same impact for this blog as he once did.
A 16 year old growing boy who basically eats anything is hardly motivation for a parent with a 3 year old picky eater. That’s why I have to recruit neighbor kids these days if I want children in these pictures. (ha ha.. see below). But, for a quick flash back from today and in honor of Nate’s birthday (who I used to call cereal boy on the blog, cause he ate a lot of cereal). Here he is at the beginning of the blog and today. (I have a lot of pictures of my kids eating!)
So, this is our banana pancakes! And to make them fun, with a birthday flair, stack them with cream and fruit! Whatever is in season.
Enjoy!

I’m in Warsaw, IN and wondered if anyone knew where I could buy wheat berries in large quantities.
I often travel to the Fort Wayne area as well.
Thanks
Is it 1/2 cup oats that you grind or grind enough to make 1/2 cup after they are ground? Thanks, looks delish!!!!
After they are ground Kimberly!
Thank you!
Can you replace the whole wheat flour with almond flour or coconut flour to make gluten free?
I enjoy these posts & recipes, but I’m often left wondering how many servings a particular recipe makes. Would it be possible for you to share that info, too? Thanks!
Hi Kaija-
Generally we don’t for blog recipes, just because we don’t specify what size to make them.
However, we have over 28 new recipes each week in our membership site, and they do have the yield with all the nutrition data.
I haven’t tried it @Barb, but if you’ve had luck making that replacement before, you should be fine. Let us know if you do.
What do you generally use for your creams in the middle of the pancakes?
We use heavy cream, whipped with a tiny bit of maple syrup! It turns out great.
WHAT IS THE PORTION SIZE FOR THESES CALORIES
DOUBLE /TRIPLE PANCAKE – HOW MANY?
THANKS – ADULT TRYING TO KEEP TO CHILD SIZE PORTION!
