Banana Pancakes with Maple Whip Cream

I thought well it's kind of boring that I post recipes that people have already come up with. So this one I kind of made up myself. Both Peter and I are banana junkies but as soon as one brown spot appears neither one of us seems to eat them. So I always let them go totally black and then come up with ways to use them. Peter loves to cook breakfast and is really good at it. So we have started to eat more breakfast for dinner, (my little trick to get him too cook dinner). So we came up with this!

• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 small, very ripe banana, peeled
• 1 cup milk
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 

Melt butter, let cool. Mix dry ingredients together in a bowl. Mash banana with fork and add the rest of the  wet ingredients to it along with the melted butter. Add wet to dry. For whipping cream just whip and add Maple Syrup while whipping (to taste).

I made up extra dry ingredients to have on hand and then wrote what was left to add on the jar for the hubby to make with or without banana.
