Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans toasted
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup buttermilk (well shaken)
  • 1 small ripe banana, mashed (to equal around 1 cup)
  • 2 Tbsp salted butter melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 Tbsp granulated sugar mixed with 1/2 tsp cinnamon for sprinkling on top
  • maple syrup or caramel syrup, butter and banana slices for serving

Instructions

  • Pecans: Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread pecans in a single layer on a sheet pan. Roast for 6-8 minutes, then set aside to cool.
  • Pancakes: In a medium size mixing bowl, use a whisk to sift together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt and nutmeg. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, banana, butter, eggs and vanilla until fully combined.
  • Add the wet to the dry ingredients. Mix with a large spoon or spatula until fully blended. Let stand 5 minutes.
  • Prepare: Heat and lightly oil a griddle or non stick frying pan over medium high heat.
  • Use a standard size 4 ounce ice cream scoop or a 1/3 cup measuring cup to divide the batter pouring into pan in even size circles.
  • Fry in batches, for about 1-2 minutes per side. Keep warm between batches. Add additional oil as needed between batches.
  • Serve immediately drizzled with syrup topped with butter, banana slices and a sprinkle of pecans and cinnamon sugar.
