I have been working as a culinary video producer and as a food stylist with Hollywood celebrities who enjoy cooking. The series is called “Inside My Kitchen” and is produced for the digital edition of the US Weekly magazine. Last week I was introduced to a well-known actress and mom who is particularly passionate about good healthy food and cooking for her children. I can’t mention her name at this moment but after spending the entire day with her on set,  I got to enjoy and respect her culinary spirit and knowledge. She created her recipes, knew how to work through culinary problems, developed trusted solutions, and came up with simple tips that every busy mom could use.

I particularly liked how she created her “celebrity mom pancakes”: a healthy and yummy banana pancakes recipe 🥞🍌🥞 I always thought that banana pancakes made from scratch seemed a little ambitious for a regular breakfast for a busy family. Here are her tips and recipes.

She divided the recipe into two separate stages. At the end of the day, it’s a really easy dish to prep, and you can have it ready to go any morning you want. According to her, the key is in the prep work – nighttime is much calmer than the mornings. So she uses that time of (relative!) peace to get a lot done! She whips up her own healthy dry pancake mix so when things are hectic in the morning, most of the work is already finished.

She says that you can keep the dry mix out on your shelf in a pretty mason jar or store it in your pantry in a simple plastic container. The busy celebrity mom often doubles or even triples the amount of mix for larger portions since it can be stored for a good period and used over many weeks whenever she or her kids feel like pancakes. All she does is add a few wet ingredients, mix everything, and voila! What I like best is that the celebrity mom does not add any extra sugar because the natural maple syrup she pours over the pancakes has enough sweetness.

I tried her recipe on set and then recreated it at home. It’s very delicious and this is another reason why I am sharing it with you.
