Fried banana pancake breakfast suggestions

These pancakes are what we call flapjacks in South Africa. They are doughy and fluffy and our recipe is light too. The fried bananas caramelise nicely in a pan and like a pinch of cinnamon and maybe a chilli flake if dad loves spicy food. You can also add bacon which we highly suggest because of course, bacon and banana roll off the tongue so nicely, so why not eat it anyway? Go crazy and stack them as high as you can for dad as the first gift of the day.

We all love breakfast, but dad takes it to a whole new level. Serve him a stack of our fried banana pancake breakfast to show your love and appreciation.
