Bourbon Banana Pancakes

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 – 1.5 tablespoons coconut oil to lube your skillet or pan
  • 2 ripe and peeled bananas – thinly sliced
  • 1.5 cups Kodiak Cakes Buttermilk Pancake Mix
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 2 whole eggs
  • 1 cup skim milk
  • 1/2 cup Cleveland Whiskey Black Reserve Bourbon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon zest
  • Maple syrup (the good stuff)
  • Whipped Cream and banana slice for garnish
  • OPTIONAL: Crushed walnuts and macadamia nuts for garnish
  • OPTIONAL: Dark chocolate and/or caramel sauces
Ingredients

Preparation:

  • Set your oven on warm.
  • Cut your bananas into 1/4″ slices.
  • Pour a thin layer of maple syrup on two oven-safe plates and set inside the over (1-2 oz each).
  • Heat up your skillet or griddle or pan. ( A little above medium).
  • Lube it up with coconut oil.
  • In the mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients.
  • In the side bowl, combine the wet ingredients (minus lemon zest).
  • Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth.

Cooking:

  • Place banana slices on cooking surface in 6″ shapes and cover them in pancake batter.
  • Don’t crowd the flapjacks and let them cook until bubbles appear on the top surface about 2-3 minutes on each side.
  • Before flipping the flapjacks, sprinkle a little lemon zest over the top.
  • When making batches, place them on a sheet pan in the oven or a plate (one that isn’t covered in maple syrup).

Serving:

  • Divide your pancakes between warmed plates with maple syrup. Syrup on the bottom is the only way to eat pancakes.
  • Garnish with whipped cream and a banana slice.
