FLUFFY BANANA PANCAKES

Step 1

In a medium bowl, mash enough bananas to equal 1 cup.

Step 2

Add to the mashed bananas; milk, egg, vegetable oil, vinegar, and vanilla. Mix well to combine

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well.

Step 4

Add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring to combine. Let the batter rest for 5 to 10 minutes. You should start to see bubbles forming as the vinegar reacts to the baking soda.

Step 5

Meanwhile, preheat the griddle to 325° F. **If you're using a stovetop, lightly butter the pan, start with your burner on medium, and adjust as needed for a golden-brown pancake.

Step 6

Using a ⅓ cup measuring cup, scoop the pancake batter and pour it onto the griddle. Allow the batter to cook for about 1 ½ to 2 minutes, or until the first side is golden brown. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1 ½ to 2 minutes, or until it is golden brown. Cooking times may vary depending on your cooking surface. The best indicator is an even golden-brown pancake. If you are still uncertain, cut one pancake in half to check that it is cooked through to the center.

Step 7

Serve warm with butter and maple syrup. Add chopped walnuts to complete the dish.
