Ingredients for Banana Nut Pancakes:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 ripe banana, mashed
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

How to Make Banana Nut Pancakes:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. In another bowl, combine the mashed banana, buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
4. Gently fold in the chopped nuts.
5. Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
7. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or cooking spray to the griddle as needed.
8. Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup, additional banana slices, and chopped nuts, if desired.
