2012! How has your new year kicked off so far? I’m not one for new year resolutions, but how about more posts this year than last year? I can work with that.
I started this year with a fresh stack of flapjacks, so it only makes sense to share with you a pancake recipe. As always, I had browning bananas on the kitchen counter and had to find a use for them. Since I wasn’t planning on eating them soon, I tossed them into a pancake batter and slathered them with Nutella. These pancakes are great for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or any meal in between! They turned out to be a little on the flatter side, but the taste was spot on. The recipe makes approximately 12 pancakes.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1/4 cup almond meal
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- pinch of salt
- 2 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon nutella
- half a banana, sliced
- a pinch of sliced almonds
Directions
- Mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- Add the bananas, buttermilk, eggs, honey, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture and stir until just moistened. A couple of clumps are okay!
- Scoop the batter by 1/3 cup onto a pan over medium heat. Once bubbles start to appear, carefully flip the pancake and let the other side cook for another minute or two.
- Spread your desired toppings on top of the pancakes and eat away!
You just mix this powder with some water and voi-la! You’ve got some buttermilk for baking.
Fabulous sums this up easily. What a great combination.
That looks good!! I’m craving pancakes now. Fancy ones like these.
I’ve been putting bananas and cinnamon in my pancake mix for a year or so. At first I cut up bananas and put them in sliced, but now I just mash them. They’re so good! I’m sure they’d be great with Nutella too.
