Really. BTW, did you know you can "bake" potatoes in the microwave? Wash the potato, stab it a few times with a fork to allow for steam venting, and microwave it on high. For a big potato, start with 7 minutes or so. Stab it with a fork. If the fork slides in and out very easily, it's ready. If there's still firm resistance, nuke it some more but not more than 2 minutes or so at a time. For smaller potatoes, obviously take the time down. Be VERY proud of your pancakes. Really.

Once they have, spread with PB, and use like bread. Of course, if you're a real fan of PB, you could also microwave some PB to make it more of a sauce consistency,and use that to top the pancakes.

Mayonnaise and bananas are a great combination(just ask Elvis) and I think the subtle sweetness would work well, in addition to making them less dry. It's not the healthiest thing in the world but probably no worse than syrup... I know it sounds weird, but I’d use some mayonnaise to top the pancakes.

Pour the batter into the pan like normal, then add the sliced banana, flip pancake like normal to finish cooking it. YUMMY! The banana warms up and becomes more sugary. No syrup is needed, the banana mushes a little and it perfect! My favorite way to make banana pancakes.

Instead of cooking the banana into the pancake, take an over-ripe one, mash it, and spread it over the top. Over-ripe bananas have a lot of natural sugar, and taste great like that. 2. As someone else mentioned, spread peanut butter on top. 3. Go the savory route... cook an egg (keep the yolk runny), and eat between two pancakes. Ideas for the pancakes:

Whirl in blender: 1 slice bread 1 small banana 1 egg. Fry the resulting batter (it will be thick, pour onto frying pan and spread with the back of a spoon) on medium (high will burn the outside before the rest is done, due to the high sugar content of the banana). Fry, flipping once, until firm to touch. All you need is a dab of butter - the pancakes will be sweet and moist. A pinch of cinnamon does not go amiss, nor a 1/2 tsp vanilla.

Make the pancake batter as it says on the box, then add 1 tsp. of vanilla, 1/2tsp of cinnamon (and nutmeg if you want), and 2 tbsp. of sugar. Then cook them as you normally would. Doing it this way takes away all need for syrup! Even my kids don't want syrup when I make them this way. We just add a bit of fruit on top, or nothing even. It's fantastic! You could use those sugar/splenda/equal packets that are at coffee shops and restaurants which would be free so they wouldnt eat into your budget. That's ok right, because I would think that people who don't have much money would utilize any resources available?
