Step 4:

Make your favorite pancake batter and gently spoon to cover the bananas. Bake in oven for approximately 30 minutes or until pancake is brown and set.

Step 5:

To serve, sprinkle with confectioner's sugar and add a couple of strawberries or raspberries for color. This recipe can be cut in half and made in two small tapas pans if you are serving only a few people.
