Banana Dutch Baby with Maple Bourbon Cream, Pillowy dutch baby filled with caramelized bananas, bourbon maple syrup and creamy bourbon whipped cream.

Every Sunday, growing up, we would eat banana pancakes. My dad loved them. Well, I loved them too. The bananas would get naturally caramelized when they touched the griddle and the sugars with the maple syrup were a perfect combination. This is my grown up version of my childhood favorite.

If you haven’t had a dutch baby before, its basically a thicker pancake that poofs up when cooked creating this perfect vessel for filling with yummy stuff like bananas. I just happened to have some bourbon on hand and mixed that in with my maple syrup creating a magical mixture.

So, the next time the kiddos are at a sleep over..break out the bourbon and fancy up your breakfast, grown up style.
