Pour about 1/4 cup batter for each pancake onto a hot, lightly greased griddle or heavy skillet. Top with some bacon. Cook over medium heat for 2 minutes or until top bubbles and bottom is golden brown. Turn and cook for 2 minutes more. Transfer pancakes to a baking pan; keep warm in oven for up to 10 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter and bacon.
Top pancakes with butter, maple syrup, and a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.
Hyvee Culinary Expert Tip
Step up this banana and bacon pancake with a homemade Buttery Cinnamon Maple Syrup. Heat maple syrup 1/2 cup, 2 cinnamon sticks, and 3 tablespoons unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to just boiling. Remove from heat and let stand for 30 minutes. Remove cinnamon sticks before serving.
