Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Line 15x10x1-inch pan with foil; spray with cooking spray.
• In large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt until blended; set aside.
• In medium bowl, beat eggs, milk, melted butter, vanilla and 1/2 cup mashed banana with whisk until blended. Stir egg mixture into flour mixture until just blended (batter will be lumpy). Pour into pan. Sprinkle chips on top.
• Bake 20 to 24 minutes or until golden brown, center is set and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool on cooling rack 10 minutes. Top with Toppings. If desired, serve with additional maple syrup.

CHOCOLATE-BANANA PANCAKE BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Butter an 8-inch square baking dish; set aside. Microwave 3 tablespoons of the butter in a small microwave-safe bowl or liquid measure to melt, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
• Whisk together the flour, 3 tablespoons of the granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Whisk together the buttermilk, 2 of the eggs and the melted butter in a small bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and stir until just combined.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat; melt a little of the remaining tablespoon butter in the skillet. Working in batches, spoon 1/4 cup of batter per pancake into the skillet, and cook until the bottom is golden brown and small bubbles appear on the top, 2 to 3 minutes; flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 2 minutes. If the pancakes brown too quickly, reduce the heat to medium-low. Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate. Repeat until all the batter is used, adding more butter to the pan as necessary. (You should have at least 12 pancakes.)
• Whisk together the half-and-half, vanilla, the remaining 5 eggs and 3 tablespoons granulated sugar and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl.
• Shingle half the pancakes in the prepared baking dish. Scatter half the sliced bananas and chocolate chips over the pancakes. Pour half the egg mixture evenly over the pancakes. Repeat with the remaining pancakes, bananas, chocolate chips and egg mixture. Cover the dish with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 8 hours and up to overnight to allow the pancakes to soak in the custard.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the plastic wrap, cover the dish loosely with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until golden brown, the custard is set and the center feels firm but springy, about 30 minutes more. Let cool 15 minutes. Dust with confectioners' sugar.

INSTANT POT CHOCOLATE CHIP BANANA PANCAKE BITES

Steps:

• Whisk the pancake mix, egg, milk and cinnamon together in a medium bowl until just combined (some small lumps are okay). Use a rubber spatula to fold in the banana and chocolate chips until evenly dispersed.
• Divide the batter evenly among the egg bite mold cups (each cup will be about 3/4 full; a small spoon works best). Cover tightly with aluminum foil, then place on the rack.
• Add 1 1/2 cups water to the Instant Pot, then carefully lower the rack using the handles into the pot. Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure-cook on high for 7 minutes (see Cook's Note).
• After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, let the pressure release naturally for 3 minutes, then follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release of the remaining pressure. Being careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid. Carefully remove the tray and let stand 5 minutes before popping the pancake bites out of the mold. Run a small offset spatula around the edge of the mold if there is any sticking. Serve with maple syrup for dipping.

Steps:

• Prepare pancakes following a classic recipe (see 'Goes well with').
• Lightly brush a baking sheet with sunflower oil. Tip the caster sugar into a medium-size saucepan, add 2-3 tbsp of water and set the pan over a low-medium heat to allow the sugar to slowly dissolve into the water. Bring to the boil and continue to cook until the syrup becomes amber-coloured caramel.
• Working quickly, tip the blanched almonds and salt into the pan and continue to cook for 30 secs-1 min until the caramel turns deep amber and the almonds are toasted. Tip the praline onto the oiled baking sheet and leave until completely cold and hardened. Break the praline into chunks and whizz in the food processor until coarsely chopped.
