Banana Nut Pancakes Topped with Mixed Berries & Greek Yogurt

These are really good with fruit syrup and fresh berries and nuts mixed in fruit syrup topped with unflavored yogurt. I mixed a whole rather green banana with strawberries and raspberries into plain yogurt then I put in some raspberry low fat syrup (I bought originally for my coffee but I love it on these pancakes. ), I added mixed nuts.  Made a really good topping for the pancakes. Other things I put on for topping is coconut. I love fresh coconut shredded with the fresh banana, berries, and fresh yogurt.

If I feel energetic  I double the recipe and put half in the freezer then when we are real busy I pull them out for a brunch or evening meal.
