The Addict's Banana Pancakes

These banana pancakes really do make me feel like an addict. My boyfriend and I could literally eat these everyday for breakfast, lunch and dinner. They are great plain, they are great with syrup, they are GREAT stuffed with Nutella and topped with caramelized bananas and icing sugar. They are just so great. I found this recipe on allrecipes.com ages ago, and it was the first recipe that got me to eat breakfast everyday. Can you imagine, once upon a time, I wasn't a breakfast eater. Here I am now, an expert on the meal. I can't wait for you guys to try this recipe in all its glory. I will see you all in the BA (Bananaholics Anonymous) next week.
