Banana Nut Pancakes
I am a very visual person, so when I saw a picture of Rachael Ray's banana bread pancakes dripping with golden maple syrup the other day as I was waiting for my dentist appointment to start, I just knew I had to give them a try. I was not disappointed! I knew I wouldn't have time to make breakfast the next two days so I made enough to last us and they were just as delicious lightly heated through and served with maple syrup and a tangy glass of orange juice. These are simple to make and so tasty. Give them a try. Enjoy!
Banana Nut Muffins
Serves 12
Ingredients:
2 very ripe bananas
2 cups milk of choice
1/2 cup oil of choice, plus more for frying
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 1/2 cups self-rising flour
2 cups chopped walnuts or pecans
Maple syrup, for serving
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas. Add in the milk, oil, brown sugar, cinnamon and ground nutmeg and stir until well combined. Fold in the self-rising flour until well incorporated, then fold in the nuts.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat (you may have to adjust the heat, depending on your stove top), add in a tablespoon of oil at a time and 1/4 cup of the pancake mixture. Allow pancakes to turn golden brown on one side before flipping them over. Continue with remaining batter. Serve with maple syrup. Enjoy.
