Low fat Mini Banana Pancakes

This recipe is from Gina's Skinny Recipes.  I've translated some of the terms into but these are really nice little pancakes that aren't bad for you. I believe the original plan was banana fritter but I they're too close to pancakes to call them anything else.  If you haven't got spray oil put some sunflower, rape seed or other vegetable oil without a strong flavour into a saucer take some wadded up kitchen roll and oil the frying pan between each batch of but be very careful of your fingers.  If you want the full fat version put some oil in the pan and add butter, allow to melt and heat up before making these delightful mini pancakes.  If you just use butter it tends to burn.  They're quite lovely as they are but even better with butter and maple syrup at which point forget what I said about Low fat.
