To Prepare
To Make the Pancakes:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: mesquite flour, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt. Stir with a whisk or fork. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the wet ingredients: crack the eggs, pour in the milk, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil and vanilla extract, and mix well with a whisk or fork. Add the mashed banana and mix and mash until thoroughly combined.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly, until completely combined. Let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Heat a large pan or cast iron pan over medium-low heat. Once hot, add a teaspoon of butter and a teaspoon of vegetable oil, or enough to coat the pan. Once the butter has melted, pour ¼ cup of batter at a time to make as many pancakes as will fit without crowding the pan. Cook for 3 minutes or so, on the first side, until the bottom creates a crust and browns. Flip and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, do not press the pancakes as they cook. Set aside on a plate until done with the rest and keep warm.
To Assemble the Full Breakfast:
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet preheated over medium heat, cook the bacon slices in batches, for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until crisp and golden brown. Transfer to a plate covered in paper towels to drain.
- A pair of eggs at a time, heat ½ teaspoon of oil in a small skillet set over low heat. Crack in the two eggs, season with salt and pepper to taste, cover and cook to your desired doneness. I like mine with the egg whites cooked and the yolks runny. Set aside.
- Place a couple pancakes on a plate, dust with confectioners sugar. Serve with 2 sunny side up eggs and a few slices of bacon.
