Fluffy Banana Nut Pancakes

Ingredients

All-purpose flour

1 cup

Baking powder

2 teaspoons

Salt

1/4 teaspoon

Granulated sugar

2 tablespoons

Ripe bananas

2, mashed

Egg

1, beaten

Milk

3/4 cup

Vanilla extract

1 teaspoon

Chopped walnuts

1/2 cup

Butter

2 tablespoons, melted (plus extra for cooking)

Maple syrup

for serving

Sliced bananas

for topping

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the mashed ripe bananas, beaten egg, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Fold in the chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and brush it lightly with melted butter.
6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, leaving space between them as they will spread slightly.
7. Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip them with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
8. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
9. Serve the pancakes warm, drizzled with maple syrup and topped with additional sliced bananas, if desired.
