Banana-Pecan Pancakes
- Ready In:
- 45mins
- Ingredients:

- Serves:
-
3-6
ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1⁄4 - 1 1⁄2 cups milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 -2 overripe banana
- 1 cup pecans
directions
- In a bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients.
- Make a well in the center and pour in the milk.
- Start with 1 1/4 cups milk, adding up to another 1/4 cup if necessary, as you mix it with the flour.
- Add the two eggs, vanilla if using and oil, whisking until mixed but still a bit lumpy.
- Peel bananas, placing in a seperate bowl. (You may want to reserve half a banana for the syrup, see below). Mash with fork, then stir into pancake mix.
- Add chopped pecans.
- Heat a frying pan (if it is not non-stick, you will need to melt a bit of butter or oil in it) and when hot, pour desired amount of pancake mix.
- When the pancake starts to bubble on top and is golden brown on the cooked side, turn it and continue cooking until both sides are golden brown.
- Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter. You may need to adjust the heat as pan tends to get hotter as you keep making pancakes.
- Keep the cooked pancakes covered with a tea towel, to keep them warm while you finish cooking the rest.
- To add even more flavor, I use store bought bottled syrup, place 1 cup in small saucepan, add 1/2 reserved banana, in slices, and heat until just warm. The banana adds SO much flavor! I dip the syrup over the pancakes without the banana chunks, but you can do either way.

These were very tasty and the recipe made a lot. I usually have to double pancake recipes for our family of 7. I doubled this one and I have enough for another breakfast and maybe 2. I did use the most amount of liquid recommended (the 1 1/2 c) and maybe that is why it made so many. Either way, I am just glad that I have a day where I do not have to cook breakfast! ; )

My daughter had been requesting banana pancakes, and we had a few over-ripe bananas on our counter, so this recipe was the perfect way to get rid of them. My daughter loved them, my husband, who has only a mild liking for bananas, enjoyed them too, and the baby devoured them. I replaced some of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat, left out the salt, and substituted mini chocolate chips for the pecans because we were out of pecans. I read the instruction about leaving the batter somewhat lumpy too late, as I'd already been at it with the hand mixer, but I left the bananas lumpy. I used two bananas in the batter, which my husband thought was a little much, but I thought the banana flavor was perfect. I may try this again with peaches instead of bananas.

I'm a busy professional mom of 2, always looking for a way to quick delicious ways to turn my Hamburger Helper budget into Filet Mignon! I can take a simple food and turn it into something that doesn't taste nearly as simple as it is! My biggest problem? I run throught the cupboards, and add anything that catches my eye that I think would be good in a dish. I add it, stirring, tasting, putting it back in the cabinet and grabbing the next impromptu ingredient and end up with an incredible dish- that I have no idea what I just did to get it. OR I know what I did and think I'll remember it next time... but I don't! I've posted a few recipes where I remember what I did- and this is as close as I've come to writing it down!).
I love to get together with my mom and cook for family gatherings or simple grill-outs!
