Lazy Weekend Breakfast

Some foods just seem to go together so well... one of my favourite combinations is bananas and chocolate. I was looking at a bunch of bananas in my kitchen and trying to decide what to have for breakfast and thought that I wanted pancakes. Then inspiration struck and this yummy creation resulted.

Chocolate Chip Pancake Mix (Breakfast):



1 pkg Nutrisystem Chocolate Chip Pancake Mix
1/3 cup milk
1/2 banana, sliced into thin coins

Spray your griddle or frying pan with PAM butter spray and let it preheat while you make the batter. Mix together the milk and pancake mix, and add the banana coins when the batter is smooth. Spoon it into the pan and cook until the bottom side is browning, then flip and cook until pancakes are done. Enjoy with sugarfree maple syrup if desired.

I know this is a discontinued item, but if you aren't fortunate enough to have some stashed away, just add 20 calories' worth of mini chocolate chips to plain Pancake Mix and you're all set. Also keep in mind that when this item was reformulated, the new Pancake Mixes only call for 1/4 cup milk while the old ones call for 1/3 cup. Always follow the directions on the package you are using.

I really enjoyed this recipe- very quick and easy but delicious. I made 7 small pancakes out of the batter and it looked like so much food! Very filling.
