Banana Nut Pancakes
Ingredients:
– 1 ripe banana, mashed
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 tablespoon sugar
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup milk
– 1 large egg
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
– Butter or oil for cooking
– Maple syrup and extra banana slices, for serving
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed banana, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to combine all the dry ingredients.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well blended.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps in the batter are okay.
4. Gently fold in the chopped nuts to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil to coat the surface.
6. Pour 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
7. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the skillet as needed.
8. Serve the Banana Nut Pancakes warm with a drizzle of maple syrup and extra banana slices on top.
