Banana Pancakes



2 very ripe(black) medium bananas
3/4-1 cup gluten free baking mix(Betty Crocker rice blend)
2/3-1 cup So Delicious coconut milk(the 45 calorie/cup kind)
3 eggs
dash of vanilla and grind of salt

Put it all in a quart-size Mason jar, put it on the blender and fire it up!  Preheat a 10-inch cast iron skillet, or the pancake griddle of your choice.  Pour into 3-inch rounds and flip when the bubbles appear and they look a little dry.  This made 22 bitty pancakes(1 WW point each) but you can make them big as you want.  I ate mine with a little butter and raspberry jam.

I left out the herbs and almost doubled the cheese sauce.  My noodles are the giant elbows.  This was amazing!!!
