This Banana Walnut Pancakes Recipe Puts a Comforting Spin on “Pancake Breakfast”
We put ripe bananas and toasted walnuts into the batter for a naturally sweet flavor
The aroma of freshly made pancakes in the morning is sure to bring a smile to anyone’s face. The Woman’s World test kitchen has had its fair share of this classic breakfast, from Pumpkin Pancakes to Sheet Pan Pancakes. But when we want a truly comforting bite, we always make this 4-ingredient banana walnut pancakes recipe. Freshly toasted walnuts, bananas, water and store-bought cake mix combine to form a simple yet delicious batter.
No matter the day of the week, you can whip up a batch of these pancakes in 30 minutes. Serve them with a drizzle of pure maple syrup for more natural sweetness, banana slices and chopped walnuts. And for an extra bit of warm spice, add a teaspoon cinnamon into the batter. And if you really want to be indulgent, a scoop of vanilla ice cream is always a great idea.
