How to make

STEP 1

Beat cream cheese and maple syrup in medium bowl with hand mixer until well mixed and no lumps remain. Add whipping cream; beat at medium speed until soft peaks form. Store in refrigerator until ready to use.
STEP 2

Place 13x9-inch baking pan in oven. Heat oven to 200°F.
STEP 3

Heat griddle to 350°F or until drops of water sizzle on surface.
STEP 4

Combine flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cardamom, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and salt in large bowl. Add buttermilk, melted Butter with Canola Oil and eggs. Whisk just until combined. (Batter will be thick and lumpy.)
STEP 5

Lightly grease or butter griddle.
STEP 6

Using 1/4 cup measure, spoon batter onto griddle. Cook 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on surface. Turn pancake over; continue cooking 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Place finished pancakes in warm baking pan in oven; cover with dry tea towel. Continue cooking pancakes in batches for total of 16 pancakes.
STEP 7

Combine 1/2 cup Butter with Canola Oil, brown sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in 12-inch nonstick skillet. Cook over medium heat until bubbles begin to form. Add sliced bananas; cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thick and bananas are heated through.
STEP 8

Place 1 rounded tablespoon banana mixture onto each of 6 pancakes. Top with another pancake. Repeat with banana mixture and pancakes, using 4 pancakes per serving. Top each serving with 1/4 cup maple cream cheese mixture and spoonful of banana mixture. Serve immediately.
