PB Banana Pancakes with Marshmallow Syrup Recipe

Spring break means experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen!  Today the boys came up with a pretty tasty recipe for pancakes that used up our rotting old banana no one wanted to eat. Here it is!

Peanut Butter/Banana Pancakes

Sift together 1 1/2 cup flour

1 tablespoon sugar

3 1/2 teaspoons of Baking Powder

Mush up 1 overly ripe banana and add to the mix

 

Melt 3 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter

Pour in the peanut butter

Measure out 1 1/4 cups of milk

Add it to the rest

Beat it, just beat it until smooth

Go ahead and lick the beaters since there aren't any eggs in the batter

 Cook like regular pancakes

*note: no one said pancakes have to be round

Marshmallow Syrup

2 tablespoons of butter

24 Marshmallows

 

stir together over a low heat

keep stirring until melted

See how many popcorn kernels you can find that look like brains.

Fairchild Toast Recipe

Mmmmm. We made a Fairchild version of french toast this morning that was too tasty and easy not to share our original  recipe!

Ingredients:

5 slices of Bread
6 slices of Bacon

8 Eggs
2 tbs Milk

1/4 cup Sour Cream

shake of Onion Powder

squirt of Mustard

1/2 cup shredded Monterrey Jack Cheese

Instructions:

• Cook bacon in casserole dish putting in in cold oven and preheating to 400 degrees
• Beat together eggs, milk, sour cream, onion powder and mustard until frothy
• When oven reaches 400 degrees remove bacon and drop temperature to 350
• Set bacon on paper towels and drain the grease
• Line the bottom of the casserole dish with slices of bread
• Lay slices of bacon evenly on top of bread
• Sprinkle with cheese
• Pour egg mixture evenly starting with the outer corners and spiraling in until bread slices are saturated
• Bake for 25 - 30 min

The result might not be super nutritious but it sure is delicious. It's an easy way to serve bacon eggs and toast for breakfast in one simple dish!

Try our toast and let us know how it turns out!
