Pancakes - Bacon Banana & Strawberry {Shirley J Wednesday}

Saying my husband loves pancakes, bacon and eggs on a Saturday is an understatement.

He always surprises me with a new pancake or cool breakfast on the weekend. He loves it! I'm usually happy to go with my Kashi cereal or steel cut oats, but Adam loves a big breakfast. And well...I'm cool with that, especially because I don't have to make it.

Though he has a great from-scratch buttermilk pancake recipe {which I adore} sometimes he goes for the Shirley J pancake mix that we always have in the pantry. Most recently he made these two pancakes: bacon banana pancakes and strawberry. Both were delicious!

Strawberry Pancakes

These strawberry buttermilk pancakes were my favorite in weeks. I loved the fresh strawberries. I think this picture has maple syrup, but I usually top mine with agave, cinnamon and a dollop of peanut butter. Wait! I do spot some peanut butter! See it?

Bacon and Banana Pancakes (Shirley J Pancake Mix)

Adam loves bacon, so he had a lot of fun with this one. Bacon and banana are a great combo and really worked well in the pancake. I loved finding little crispy nuggets of bacon in each bite. The bacon along with the banana was delicious with maple syrup.

I love the Shirley J Buttermilk Pancake and Waffle Mix. It makes such a nice, flavorful and fluffy yet very substantial pancake! We just add water, any fun mix-in (or leave it plain cause it's got a great flavor) and are done!

What's your favorite pancake mix? And what mix-ins do you like to add?

I love banana pancakes, but my favorite recent discovery is white chocolate chip pancakes. Unfortunately, my husband is not big on sweet foods for breakfast, so I don't get to eat pancakes too often. Great ideas for pancake flavors!
