Banana Walnut Pancakes
Submitted by Isa
prep time: 10 minutes | cooking time: 10 - 15 minutes | makes 8 - 10 small pancakes
These pancakes are delicious on a lazy Sunday morning, on a crazy Saturday night, or mid-afternoon on Tuesdays. They're great anytime, alright?
Equipment:
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/2 cups soymilk + 1 teaspoon vinegar (let sit for 5 minutes)
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 tsp vanilla
3 small-med bananas, mashed really well with a fork or blended in a blender
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped


Ingredients
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/2 cups soymilk + 1 teaspoon vinegar (let sit for 5 minutes)
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 tsp vanilla

3 small-med bananas, mashed really well with a fork or blended in a blender

1/2 cup walnuts, chopped

Directions
Sift together first 5 (dry) ingredients.

In a seperate bowl, mix bananas and other wet ingredients until pretty smooth. Poor wet into dry and mix but do not overmix. Fold in the walnuts.

Brush a large nonstick skillet with canola oil or non stick cooking spray and heat over moderate heat until hot but not smoking. Working in batches of 3, pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake into hot skillet and cook until bubbles appear on surface and undersides are golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip pancakes with a spatula and cook until golden brown and cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer to a large plate and loosely cover with foil to keep warm, then make more pancakes, brushing skillet with oil or spray for each batch.

Serve with sliced bananas and maple syrup.

really good -- fluffy and tasty. i used almonds instead of walnuts because that's what i had on hand, and also used half whole wheat flour because, again, that's what i had. the results were still great, and i think the whole wheat blend added further 'nuttyness' and complimented the almonds.

the pancakes did seem to need a lot of oil in the cooking to keep from sticking, though, i noticed -- although, we don't have a non-stick pan where we're currently staying, and that makes a difference.

the recipe was definitely worth trying and will be repeated for sure, though!

This recipe helps a vegan stay a vegan and impresses any non-vegan types. The one problem regards the undercooked center. The best solution requires add more liquid to create a thinner pancake. I love leaving some of the banana chunkier so as to devour whole pieces of sweet banana.

I've been making these for a couple months now, they're my favorite breakfast recipe! Perfect pancakes. I grind up the walnuts first in a food processor and mix them up with the dry ingredients before adding wet.

These pancakes really hit the spot! They really are great anytime! The batter was a little thicker than what I am used to... so I just thinned it out with a couple more tablespoons of soy milk. Yum!

Delicious, a great recipe that makes everyone happy. I also used whole wheat flour and crushed almonds and cooked the sliced bananas with nutmeg, cloves and cinnamon before adding them to the batter. The end result were the best pancakes I have ever eaten. I recommend spooning the batter into the pan to create a thinner pancake and make sure there are enough pieces of the banana in each bite.
yum!


Tips
You can always substitute white flour for whole wheat pastry flour, to make it a little healthier.
