Buckwheat, Oatbran & Walnut Banana Pancakes

I Had a craving for healthy and hearty banana pancakes. I Couldn't find what I was looking for so I used a Canadian Living recipe as a scaffold and modified to my tastes. The results were fantastic! :D

• Ready In: 1 hr 20 mins
• Yields: 18 pancakes

Ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 cups buckwheat flour
• 1  cup  oat bran
• 3  tablespoons raw sugar
• 1  teaspoon baking powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 cup walnuts, chopped
• 1 3⁄4 cups skim milk
• 2  eggs, beaten
• 2  bananas, ripe, mashed
• 3  tablespoons butter, melted
• 2  teaspoons vanilla

Directions

1. In large bowl, whisk together flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In separate bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, bananas, butter and vanilla; pour over flour mixture and stir until almost smooth. Let stand for 10 minutes.
2. Heat nonstick skillet or griddle to medium heat; brush lightly with some of the oil. Pour in about 1/3 cup (75 mL) batter for each pancake; cook for about 3 minutes or until underside is golden and bubbles break on top but do not fill inches.
3. Turn and cook until underside is golden brown, about 1 minute. Repeat with remaining batter, brushing skillet with more oil as necessary. (Make-ahead: Wrap individually in plastic wrap and freeze in airtight container for up to 1 month. Reheat in toaster.).
