Looking for another way to use up those brown bananas you occasionally end up with? You need to try and use them for these easy banana nut pancakes. I love them with the nuts, but you can always leave them out if you aren’t a fan. I use walnuts, but pecans would also be delicious.

In a bowl, you are going to whisk together some flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Once this is all combined, you are going to make a well.

In another bowl, you are going to whisk some milk, mashed banana, melted butter, vanilla, and an egg. Once this is well blended, you are going to pour the wet mixture into the well of the dry ingredients. Whisk it all together just until combined. Then add in the walnuts and fold. Now it’s time to cook and eat just like any other pancakes.

I like to top these easy banana nut pancakes with some fresh sliced bananas, some additional nuts, and maple syrup for serving.

Instructions

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Make a well in the center.
In another bowl, whisk the milk, bananas, melted butter, and vanilla extract together. Add in the egg and whisk together. Pour mixture into the well in the flour mixture; stir until just combined. Fold in the walnuts.
Heat a lightly oiled skillet or griddle over medium heat. Drop 1/4 cup batter onto the skillet or griddle and gently spread batter evenly with the back of a spoon. Cook until bubbles form and the edges are firm, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 1 to 2 minutes more. Repeat with remaining batter. Makes 6-8 pancakes. Serves 3-4.
