Peanut Butter and Banana Pancake sandwich

Most of the time, I like to make things from scratch but there are times when convenience triumphs! Those mornings when my baby decides to wake up an hour before his usual time, and I walk into the kitchen barely knowing what I am doing, it's helpful to be able to make something quick. Otherwise, I am fairly sure that I will mix the salt with the sugar, milk for orange juice, you get the idea. 
A couple of days ago, I made pancake batter. I say I made, but it is from a box with just a few tweaks. After a couple of days in the fridge (the batter has no eggs), the batter starts to get flat so I decided to make a sort of sandwich out of them! Think pancake and crepe meeting half way. My baby seemed to REALLY enjoy it! I hope yours does too!


What I did:
I used a gluten-free pancake mix.
Added organic sweet potato puree instead of oil.
Added a handful of raisins.
Added about a tsp. of ground cinnamon.


You'll also need:
Peanut butter spread
Coarsely mashed ripe banana


I made a bigger size pancake so that they could be a little thinner and so that I could cut into it with a cookie cutter. Once the pancake was done. I used a cookie cutter to cut two of the same shapes (in my case, a guitar) and spread peanut butter onto the pieces, then topped with the mashed banana and voila! You got a breakfast sandwich!
