1/2 cup (as needed to achieve desired batter consistency)
nonstick cooking spray
as needed (for greasing the skillet)
strawberries
1 cup (sliced)
orange juice

Instructions
1
In a medium bowl, mash the banana with a fork until smooth. This will be the base of your pancake batter.

5
Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown and fully cooked.
6
While the pancakes are cooking, prepare the topping by spraying another pan with nonstick cooking spray and heating it over medium heat.
7
Add the sliced strawberries and orange juice to the pan, cooking for about 3 minutes or until the berries are softened and juicy.
