Banana Bread Pancakes

This recipe came from the Sunday newspaper coupons. My family loves these pancakes. I serve them with Maple Praline Syrup. I like to double the banana mix, make big pancakes and top the pancakes with 6 slices of bananas. I have mixed these in my Kitchen Aid Mixer with no difference in batter results. I have halved the recipe with no problems. I've also froze the pancakes before and thawed and warm them in the microwave.
