banana pancakes

i know that this isn't "baking" but they're cakes...sort of? anyway, a couple of weeks ago i made banana pancakes for me, my parents, and my oldest nephew, nels. they were delicious! this warmish humid weather is causing our bananas to ripen like crazy so, once again, i found myself with 3 large over-ripe bananas. time for more pancakes! this time i made some caramelized bananas to go on top of the pancakes. i also made a honey-cinnamon-vanilla whipped cream cheese. holy deliciousness, y'all!

recipes, because i know you're dying for them. the pancake recipe can be found here. i substituted buttermilk for the milk because, duh, buttermilk is incredible in pancakes! here's the recipe for the easy caramelized bananas. and the honey-cinnamon-vanilla whipped cream cheese goes as follows:

8 oz of whipped cream cheese (you can whip a block of cream cheese or just buy the tub of it already whipped)
2-5 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon vanilla

combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir. some recipes i found said to use 2 tablespoons of honey but i found that that wasn't nearly enough to actually have the honey flavor come across. basically, all of these are "to taste" because you might want more cinnamon or vanilla or whatever.
