Instructions
For the banana whipped cream:
In a large mixing bowl, beat cream at medium to medium high speed using an electric mixer until cream begins to thicken.
Turn mixer off and add confectioners’ sugar. Mix on low until sugar is incorporated, the increase speed to medium and continue to mix until soft peaks form.
Turn mixer off. Gently fold in chopped bananas. Cover whipped cream and chill until ready to serve.
For the pancakes:
In a large mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, salt and allspice. Set aside.
In another large mixing bowl, cream butter and brown sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until mixture is light and fluffy.
Add eggs, one at a time, making sure that each egg is well-incorporated within the batter after each addition. Mix in molasses.
With the mixer on medium-low, add about 1/3 of the flour mixture. Once it is well incorporated, mix in half of the milk. Repeat steps until flour and milk are thoroughly combined within the batter.
Pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto a greased hot griddle. Turn pancakes when bubbles begin to form on top, about 3-4 minutes. Carefully flip and continue to cook until the other side is brown, about two minutes.
Stack pancakes on a plate. Serve with a dollop of banana whipped cream and a drizzle of maple syrup.
