Recipe Directions
- Beat cream cheese and maple syrup in medium bowl with hand mixer until well mixed and no lumps remain. Add whipping cream; beat on medium speed until soft peaks form. Set aside.
- Place 13×9-inch baking pan in oven. Heat oven to 200°F.
- Heat griddle to 350°F or until drops of water sizzle on surface.
- Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cardamom, and cinnamon in large bowl. Add buttermilk, melted butter, and eggs. Whisk just until combined. (Batter will be thick and lumpy.)
- Lightly grease or butter griddle.
- Using 1/4 cup measure, spoon batter onto griddle. Cook 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on surface. Turn; 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, keeping finished pancakes in warm oven.
- Place butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon into 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.
- Place 1 rounded tablespoon of banana mixture onto each of 6 pancakes. Top with another pancake. Repeat with banana mixture and pancakes, using 3 pancakes per serving and ending with a pancake. Top each serving with 1/4 cup maple cream cheese mixture and spoonful of banana mixture. Serve immediately.
