Add pancake mixture to lightly buttered skillet or griddle. Top each pancake with 4-5 pieces of banana and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the edges appear dry. Turn with a wide spatula and cook another 2-3 minutes on the other side. Drizzle with maple syrup or honey.

Note: You can also add sliced bananas in between layers pancakes once they are cooked if you do not wish to add them while they’re cooking.
