Gingerbread pancakes with banana and caramel

Gingerbread pancakes with banana and caramel are a delightful twist on traditional pancakes, perfect for a cozy breakfast or brunch. The warm spices of cinnamon, ginger, allspice, and nutmeg add a comforting holiday flavor, while the bananas and caramel sauce provide a sweet, fruity finish. Here's how you can make these delicious pancakes in a few simple steps.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup sour cream
120g
1/2 cup milk (1% fat)
120g
2 eggs
100g
1 tbsp butter
16g
1 cup self-raising flour
150g
1 tsp cinnamon
3g
1 tsp ginger
5g
1 tsp allspice
5g
1 tsp ground nutmeg
5g
1 cup sugar
200g
2 bananas
240g
1 tbsp water
16g
1.50 cups light sour cream
340g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pancake Batter:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the sour cream, milk, and eggs until well combined and smooth.
- Slowly stir in the melted butter.
- In a separate bowl, mix the self-raising flour, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, nutmeg, and sugar.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing the batter.
2. Cook the Pancakes:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of additional butter.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet.
- Cook until bubbles start to form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
- Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter.
3. Caramelize the Bananas:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
- Increase the heat slightly and continue to cook without stirring until the mixture turns a deep amber color (be cautious not to burn it).
- Add the butter and stir until melted and combined.
- Add the banana slices to the caramel mixture and cook for 1-2 minutes until the bananas are well coated and slightly softened. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. Make the Caramel Sauce:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the light sour cream and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the caramelized sugar mixture (reserve a few caramelized bananas for topping) and stir until smooth and well blended.
5. Assemble the Pancakes:
- Stack the pancakes on a serving plate.
- Top with caramelized bananas.
- Drizzle generously with the caramel sauce.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips:

- Make sure to use ripe bananas for the best flavor and texture.

- Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.

- Cook the pancakes on a medium heat to avoid burning the spices in the batter.

- If the batter seems too thick, you can add a little more milk to reach the desired consistency.

- For an extra touch, top the pancakes with some whipped cream or a drizzle of maple syrup.

- Warm the caramel sauce before serving for a smooth, pourable consistency.

Gingerbread pancakes with banana and caramel are a wonderful way to start your day with a burst of flavor and warmth. They are perfect for special occasions or just to treat yourself. Enjoy the fluffy texture of the pancakes combined with the delicious caramelized bananas for a truly indulgent experience. Happy cooking!
