Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large ripe bananas
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 large egg
  • ¾ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt
  • Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. Mash the ripe bananas in a mixing bowl until smooth.
  2. Add egg, milk, and vanilla extract to the bananas and whisk until combined.
  3. Sift in flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until just combined—do not overmix.
  4. Fold in chopped walnuts or pecans.
  5. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and grease with butter or oil.
  6. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
  7. Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on top, then flip and cook another 2 minutes until golden.
  8. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Use overripe bananas for best sweetness and moisture.
  • Let batter rest for 5–10 minutes before cooking.
  • Toast nuts beforehand for extra flavor.
  • The first pancake may not be perfect—use it to adjust heat.
  • Can be frozen for up to 2 months with parchment between layers.
