No more slaving over a stovetop to serve a pancake breakfast when you’ve got this recipe to work with. Ready in less than 25 minutes, and your whole crew can sit down to pancakes together.Tools: 18 x 13-inch rimmed baking sheet, parchment paper, whisk, offset spatula, knife, pastry brush
Set a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 425°F. Line an 18 x 13-inch (or 12 x 18-inch) rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and grease with cooking spray or melted butter. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add the dry ingredients: the all purpose flour, buckwheat flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Whisk to combine and set aside.
In a medium bowl, add the buttermilk, eggs, 2 tablespoons of the melted butter and vanilla. Whisk until combined, then slowly stream the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients. Whisk again until combined.
Pour the batter into the lined baking pan and tilt the pan in all directions so the batter spreads to create an even surface. Top with the sliced bananas and chocolate chips.
Place the pan on the middle rack in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes (rotating the pan halfway through), or until the pancake has slightly changed color and springs back to the touch.
Remove the pan from the oven and set oven to broil. Brush the top of the pancakes with the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Return the pancakes to the oven and broil for 1-2 minutes (or until the top has golden spots and the sugar mixture is bubbling).
Slice into even squares with a pizza cutter or sharp knife, and serve with warm maple syrup or other favorite toppings.
