Banana Bread Pancakes

If you're a fan of our banana bread, then you're gonna love this, since it's based on that recipe. As easy as that is to make, these are even easier. I really think that this threads the needle between something that has the flavor of banana bread, but that is very close to the texture of a classic pancake. Top with butter and banana slices and serve with warm maple syrup.

Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ cup milk
• ½ cup finely chopped walnuts
• ⅓ cup white sugar
• 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
• ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt
• ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, or as needed
• 1 large ripe banana

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a small bowl with a whisk. Reserve until needed.

Step 2

Place banana in a mixing bowl and mash into a smooth paste with a potato masher. Add egg and sugar and whisk thoroughly until sugar is dissolved and mixture is smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add milk, vanilla extract, 1/4 cup melted butter, walnuts, and flour mixture. Whisk until just combined.

Step 3

Let batter rest for 10 minutes.

Step 4

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large, nonstick pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, transfer in about 1/3 cup of the batter per pancake. Reduce heat to medium and cook until edges start to look dry and small air bubbles pop up through the surface, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes more. Serve immediately.
