Banana Dutch Pancake

If you are looking for a new and uncomplicated breakfast option, give this banana Dutch baby pancake a try. Dutch baby pancakes are much easier than making traditional pancakes as you do not have to spend the time frying each pancake. Simply mix the batter and pour it into a skillet and into the oven it goes, coming out about 15 minutes later perfectly browned and ready to eat. Here we add bananas to the pancake but feel free to use almost any fruit that you think may go well. Dutch baby pancakes are also delicious plain, with no fruit, just add a touch of maple syrup or powdered sugar and you will love this new breakfast treat.
