How to Make Hummingbird Pancakes

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 cup of the sugar, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, oil, and remaining 1/2 cup sugar. Stir in the mashed bananas, pineapple, and vanilla extract.
  3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Gently fold in the chopped pecans.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  7. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. While pancakes cook, prepare the cream cheese anglaise: In a blender, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
  9. Transfer the cream cheese mixture to a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, whisking constantly for 1 minute.
  10. Remove from heat and stir in the melted butter.
  11. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F oven while you finish cooking the remaining batter.
  12. Serve the pancakes immediately, topped with the warm cream cheese anglaise, banana slices, and pineapple chunks (optional).
