Ingredients

2

                        cups Original Bisquick™ mix

1

cup milk

2

eggs

1/2

cup butter

1/4

cup packed brown sugar

1/2

teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4

teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/2

cup maple syrup

1/4

to 1/2 teaspoon rum extract, if desired

4

firm ripe medium bananas, cut into 1/2-inch slices

1/2

cup chopped toasted pecans or walnuts, if desired

Preparation

In medium bowl, stir Bisquick mix, milk and eggs until blended. Heat griddle or skillet over medium heat or to 375°F. Grease griddle with vegetable oil if necessary (or spray with cooking spray before heating). For each pancake, use slightly less than 1/4 cup batter. Cook until bubbles break on surface. Turn; cook until golden. Serve immediately, or place on cookie sheet in warm oven until ready to serve.

In 10-inch nonstick skillet, mix butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, maple syrup and rum extract. Cook mixture over medium-high heat 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly with wooden spoon, until sugar dissolves and mixture is thick.

Reduce heat to medium; add bananas, gently spooning sauce over each piece. Cook about 3 minutes or until bananas are glossy and coated with sauce.

To serve, place 2 pancakes on each individual plate; spoon about 1/3 cup bananas and sauce over pancakes. Garnish with chopped nuts, and serve immediately.
