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
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the mashed ripe bananas, beaten egg, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Fold in the chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and brush it lightly with melted butter.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, leaving space between them as they will spread slightly.
- 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.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
- Serve the pancakes warm, drizzled with maple syrup and topped with additional sliced bananas, if desired.
Tips
- For an extra kick, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients.
- You can substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier option.
- Feel free to replace walnuts with pecans or even chocolate chips for a sweeter twist.
