Delicious Banana Nut Pancakes Recipe for Breakfast

Ingredients

Servings:
12
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk (or milk with vinegar)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 2 ripe bananas (mashed)
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp oil (for cooking)

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

    Make sure to sift the flour for a fluffier pancake.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg, melted butter, mashed bananas, and vanilla extract.

    Use overripe bananas for better sweetness.
  3. Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

    Lumps are okay; they help keep pancakes fluffy.
  4. Add Walnuts

    Fold in the chopped walnuts if using.

    You can substitute walnuts with pecans if desired.
  5. Heat Pan

    Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly oil it.

    Test the heat by dropping a little batter; it should sizzle.
  6. Cook Pancakes

    Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip.

    Cook until golden brown on both sides.
  7. Serve

    Serve warm with maple syrup and additional banana slices if desired.

    Top with whipped cream for extra indulgence.
