Banana Pancakes with Butter Rum Sauce

1 cup flour

1-1/4 tsp baking powder

1/8 tsp ground cinnamon

1/8 tsp grated nutmeg

1 cup buttermilk

1/4 cup brown sugar

2 Tbsp butter, melted

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

3 ripe bananas, mashed

Butter Rum Sauce

1/2 cup maple syrup

1 Tbsp butter

2 Tbsp dark rum

In a mixing bowl, add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix well. Add the buttermilk, brown sugar, melted butter, egg and vanilla extract. Whip well until smooth. Let rest for 30 minutes. Fold in the mashed bananas.

Spray a flat pan or griddle with vegetable spray and heat. When hot, pour 3 to 4 tablespoons of the batter for each pancake. Let the pancake cook until bubbles appear on top. Turn the pancake over and cook for another minute. Repeat to cook remaining pancakes.

For the sauce: In a saucepan, combine all of the sauce ingredients and heat over low heat until the mixture simmers. Pour over the pancakes and serve at once.
