I just love these pancakes, they taste just like banana bread with the bonus of a cream cheese glaze. Their texture is even much like banana bread. So if you have a craving for banana bread just make these much easier and so darn good..

• 4 Tablespoons butter, softened
• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 6 Tablespoons milk (more or less to reach desired consistency)

• Directions For The Pancakes:
• 1. Preheat an electric griddle to 350 degrees, or you can use a large nonstick pan on top of the stove. In a large mixing bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon for 20 seconds. Make a well in center of mixture then set aside.
• 2. In a separate mixing bowl whisk together buttermilk, sour cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, mashed bananas, egg, vanilla and melted butter. While whisking, pour buttermilk mixture into flour mixture then blend just until combined and the batter will be lumpy, thats okay.
• 3. Butter griddle as necessary then pour a heaping 1/3 cup onto griddle and slightly spread outward into a round. Cook until bottom is golden brown, you wont get many bubbles so look for the golden brown color then flip and cook opposite side until golden brown. Serve warm with cream cheese glaze.
• Directions For The Glaze:
• 1. In a large mixing bowl, using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer set on medium speed, beat and blend together cream cheese and butter until well combine and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add in remaining ingredients and mix about 1 minute until well combine. Store in an airtight container in refrigerator until ready to use on pancakes.
