Ingredients
Pancakes
- 1 cup pancake mix

- ¼ cup packed brown sugar
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- ½ cup pure maple syrup
- ¼ tsp rum extract, optional
- 2 large bananas, sliced

Instructions
- First, prepare pancake mix per box instructions. Once a batter is formed, allow batter to sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
- Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons butter in large skillet over low medium heat. Once butter has melted, use ¼ cup measuring spoon to spoon batter onto pan. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on first side, or until bubbles have formed.
- Carefully flip pancakes. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes on second side. Remove pancakes to a large plate. Continue until batter runs out.
- Then, make the topping. Add all topping ingredients except bananas and pecans to a skillet over low heat. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring frequently, or until brown sugar has melted into butter.
- Then, slice bananas into coins. Place these banana coins in the skillet. Cook for 1 minute on each side.
- Finally, top pancakes with caramelized bananas. Pour some of the sauce from the pan on top. Garnish with pecans if desired.
