Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 ½ cups whole milk
• 3 tablespoons baking powder
• 3 medium bananas, sliced
• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, or as needed
• 2 cups buckwheat flour
• 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Mix flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl until well combined. Clear a hole out in the middle and pour in milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla. Stir until well combined but do not overmix. Stir banana slices into the pancake mix; set aside for 5 minutes.

Step 2

Lightly oil a griddle with vegetable oil and heat to 325 to 350 degrees F (165 to 175 degrees C). Drop batter by large spoonfuls onto the griddle; cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Drop some chopped walnuts on top.

Step 3

Flip the pancakes over and if you added walnuts, lightly press down with a spatula to drive the nuts in. Cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes, then flip back over to the original side for just 1 minute. Continue with remaining batter.
