Banana Pancakes? Um-Um Good

Summer mornings after sleepovers at Oma’s, the grandkids are greeted with banana pancakes.

She reduced the sugar, added butter and banana – “and decided I had a very nutritious simple breakfast.” Nearly 50 years later, two generations have grown up on Oma’s banana pancakes, which have become quite famous in the Kuney clan and their circle of friends – as well as with friends of their friends/ Adriana Janovich , SR.
