The distinctive taste of black walnuts
in combination with banana contribute incredible flavor to these
pancakes.
Black Walnut Banana
Pancakes
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups milk
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup chopped black walnuts, toasted*
2 medium bananas, sliced 1/2-inch thick
Vegetable oil
- Maple syrup for accompaniment
- Stir together flour, baking powder, sugar
and salt in mixing bowl.
- Beat the eggs in separate bowl; stir in
milk and butter.
- Add the liquid mixture to dry ingredients,
stirring just until blended. Fold in the walnuts and bananas.
- Heat greased griddle or skillet over medium
heat or to 375°F (190°C). Griddle is ready when a few drops of water
bubble and skitter rapidly around.

onto hot griddle. Cook pancakes until puffed, bubbly and dry
around edges. Turn and cook other sides until golden brown. Serve
with maple syrup.

and bake at 350°F (175°C) until lightly browned and aromatic, about 5
minutes.
