Birthday-morning special, these fluffy pancakes can be flavor adjusted to your heart's content! One of my kids eats the plain banana pancakes, another likes just chocolate chips added, and a third one goes for the works. —Christeen Kelley, Newark, California

Banana BasicsLook for plump bananas that are evenly yellow-colored. Green bananas are under-ripe, while a flecking of brown flecks indicates ripeness. If bananas are too green, place in a paper bag until ripe. Adding an apple to the bag will speed the process. Store ripe bananas at room temperature. To prevent bruises, a banana hook or hanger is a great inexpensive investment. For longer storage, you can place ripe bananas in a tightly sealed plastic bag and refrigerate. The peel will become brown but the flesh will remain unchanged. One pound of bananas equals about 3 medium or 1-1/3 cups mashed.

This recipe is definitely a keeper! We made ours plain,without the chips, and sprinkled some chopped walnuts and syrup over them. Delicious!

This is a great way to use up bananas you and your kids won't eat! You can also use chocolate and peanut butter instead of chocolate and peanut butter swirl

My daughter can't have the listed chips so I substituted with 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips. I like the way the smaller chips distribute more evenly through the batter. My daughter asked if we could make these next time she has a sleepover.

I added some finely chopped walnuts and my family thought they were very yummy. I didn't put any syrup on mine as they tasted good enough without it.
