  • 2-3.7 oz boxes of instant Banana pudding mix
  • 4 cups Milk
  • Vanilla wafer cookies
  • 3-5 Bananas

Make up the pudding and chill until set (usually about 10 minutes).

Lay banana slices along the bottom of the dish, you are using. Place a layer of vanilla wafer cookies on top of the banana layer, then cover with a layer of banana pudding. Continue layering the bananas, cookies and pudding until you run out of bananas or pudding or you reach the top of the dish. 😉 Chill until ready to serve.

This recipe is best made just an hour or so before you intend to use it. Making it the night before is not recommended because the cookies get really soggy and the bananas turn brown.

  • 2 c Flour
  • 3/8 c Brown Sugar
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 1/2 c Milk
  • 1 c Pumpkin (mashed)
  • 1 Egg
  • 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
  • 2 tbsp Vinegar

Combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. In a separate bowl mix together the milk, pumpkin, egg, oil and vinegar. Stir flour mixture into the pumpkin mixture just enough to combine.

Heat a lightly oiled griddle, or frying pan over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake and brown on both sides.

We love these pancakes. They aren’t too fluffy and they have just a light pumpkin taste, not too overwhelming.

  • 1 c All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 tbsp Sugar
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 c Milk
  • 2 tbsp Vegetable oil

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together egg, milk, vegetable oil, and bananas. Stir the flour mixture into the banana mixture (batter will be slightly lumpy).

Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Pour or scoop about 1/4 c mixture per pancake onto the griddle and cook until pancakes are golden brown on both sides. Serve hot.

These pancakes were so good that we found you don’t need syrup or anything on them. Yum.
