Banana Chip Pancakes

Ingredients:
(Makes 12 pancakes)

2 cups biscuit/baking mix
1 egg
1 cup milk
1 cup mashed ripe bananas

3/4 cup swirled milk chocolate and peanut butter chips

Maple syrup and additional milk chocolate and peanut butter chips, optional

Directions:

Place biscuit mix in a large bowl.  Combine the egg, milk, and bananas; stir into biscuit mix just until moistened.  Stir in chocolate chips.  Pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto a greased hot griddle; turn when bubbles form on top.  Cook until the second side is golden brown.  Serve with syrup and additional chips if desired.

In my test kitchen:

I used Bisquik for the baking mix.  I could not find swirled milk chocolate and peanut butter chips when I was making this recipe and Clint doesn't love peanut butter much anyway so I just used regular milk chocolate chips.  It was still a great pancake!  I made these a second time and got creative with the syrup.  For some reason, maple syrup on its own for this pancake just didn't seem to fit.  So I melted some milk chocolate chips and combined it with maple syrup until I got a nice smooth chocolate-y maple syrup.  (I didn't measure it out but it was probably equal parts chocolate to syrup...maybe a tad more chocolate.)  Then I added the whipped cream just to make it look pretty.  But it made it taste even better.  Because this recipe calls for so few ingredients and is so easy to make, I'm sure I'll make this many more times!
