Cinnamon Banana Pancakes ( recipe by Kate Murdoch / Herald Sun )

My wonderful husband Russ, made these pancakes for me on my very first Mother's Day. He did such a fantastic job and they were so yummy, that it has now become an established tradition, that Russ cooks these for me and the family EVERY Mother's Day.
