"Make you banana pancakes, pretend like it the week-end now..." Pancakes and week-end just seem to go together. They always make me think of lazy Saturday or Sunday mid-morning's with nothing to do but drink coffee and read the paper in your pj's. Since hubs has been deployed I haven't made pancakes at all. Maybe because making pancakes for yourself feels lonely or maybe it just because you can't make just one or two pancakes! I like my pancakes with fruit and/or nuts added in them. Banana pancakes with toasted walnuts are probably my favorite. Just drizzle them with some warm maple syrup and a bit of butter *drool*. Leftovers do freeze quite well by the way. Can't wait till hubs and I can enjoy a lazy week-end eating pancakes together...sigh.
Anyway when I saw the "Eat to the Beat" event hosted by Elly says Opa, I immediately though of the song Banana Pancakes by Jack Johnson. Check it out here. And while your listening, make some banana pancakes because... "This song is meant to keep you, from doing what your supposed to."

Viewing your banana pancakes I can pretend it's the weekend anytime to eat them :D
Sliced banana, maple syrup and ice cream is one of my favourite ways to eat pancakes.

Great entry for the event! The pancakes look so delicious and I love that song. I had the pleasure of meeting Jack Johnson a few years back and he is a total sweetheart. Thanks so much for participating!
OMG I'm drooling. Those look yummy!
oh this banana pancake reminds me of my wonderful vacation in an island where we feasted on these pancakes for breakfast!!
These pancakes would make my afternoon so much better! I like the idea of adding nuts... Pecans are such favorites of mine!

Okay, now you make me think that I want to have banana pancakes tomorrow. Instead of me having to make it though, you can send some for me :)
The pancakes look very good. Must be delicious too.
I came to see your French bread, and scrolled down too far. Now I'm drooling over these gorgeous banana pancakes! Yum!
I'll love to eat one of those this morning. Looks good.
That looks like dessert to me =D
