Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, toasted
- Butter or oil, for cooking
Instructions:
- Prepare the batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir in the mashed bananas.
- Combine ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the toasted walnuts or pecans.
- Heat the griddle: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Cook the pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Serve the Banana Nut Pancakes warm, topped with sliced bananas, extra nuts, and a drizzle of maple syrup or honey.
These Banana Nut Pancakes are a perfect balance of fluffy, sweet, and crunchy—an ideal breakfast for any banana lover!
