Banana Nut Pancakes

Filling, a little ragged looking, very tasty, easy to make

Follow this link for the recipe: 
Banana Nut Pancakes
• ¾ cup white whole wheat flour (King Arthur or Trader Joes)
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 2 Tblsp sugar
• ¼ tsp salt
• ½ tsp soda (only if use buttermilk)
• ¾ cup chopped walnuts
• 1 egg
• ¾ cup milk or buttermilk
• 1 Tblsp canola oil
• 1 mashed banana

Night before:
Mix first six items in a bowl. Omit soda if using regular milk. Cover and leave on counter.
Beat egg in small bowl. Add milk, oil, mashed bananas and stir. Cover and put in refrigerator.

Next morning:
Pour wet ingredients into dry, stir until just mixed (if you stir too much, pancakes will be tought). Heat griddle or pan and spoon batter onto griddle. Cook and serve with maple syrup.

NOTES:
• The buttermilk version can spread and be unruly (note picture). Make these a bit smaller than you normally would.
• You can use any flour you want on these – all purpose or half and half all purpose and traditional whole wheat.
• Pecans in place of walnuts on these are delicious
