These are great for breakfast, or you could serve them later in the day cooked on the barbecue. The combined flavour of bananas and dates, pecans and maple syrup is awesome. Serve them with cream or some great-quality vanilla ice cream.
Hotcakes, or griddle cakes, are a classic American speciality, similar to big, thick pikelets. They are most often eaten for breakfast, served with maple syrup or bacon, and are generally cooked on a large skillet or in a griddle pan. This makes them perfect for the barbecue hotplate.
