Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
- Butter for cooking
- Maple syrup for serving
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1 cup of buttermilk, 1 large egg, 1 ripe banana (mashed), 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts, butter for cooking, and maple syrup for serving.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together until they are well mixed and free of lumps.
- In a separate bowl, beat the large egg and then add the buttermilk and the mashed ripe banana. Mix these wet ingredients together until they are well combined and smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently fold the two mixtures together using a spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps remaining.
- Once the batter is combined, fold in the chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter to the pan, allowing it to melt and coat the surface.
- Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set.
- Carefully flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Once cooked, transfer the pancakes to a plate and keep them warm in a low oven while you repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
- Serve the pancakes warm, drizzled with maple syrup, and enjoy your delicious Bluesman's Banana Nut Pancakes!
Tips
- • For the most flavorful pancakes, use a very ripe banana with plenty of brown spots, which will provide maximum natural sweetness. • Don't overmix your batter - a few small lumps are perfect and will help keep your pancakes tender. • Make sure your skillet is at medium heat to prevent burning and ensure even cooking. • Let the pancake batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking to allow the flour to hydrate and create a smoother texture. • Use a non-stick skillet or well-seasoned griddle for the best pancake release and golden-brown color. • Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (around 200°F) while preparing the remaining batch to serve everything hot and fresh.
