    These Oat Banana Nut Pancakes are hearty, healthy, and delicious!

    Oat Banana Nut Pancakes take regular panckaes to the next level. Adding oats, whole-wheat flour, nuts, and bananas transforms traditional pancakes into this updated version. Not that there is anything wrong with traditional pancakes, I love them as well. Oat Banana Nut Pancakes adds oats, wheat flour, bananas and walnuts to traditional pancake batter to make a heartier and healthier version of pancakes. Letting the batter rest for a few minutes while the griddle is getting hot helps them to be thick. Our family likes both thick and thin pancakes. Oat Banana Nut Pancakes adds oats, wheat flour, bananas and walnuts to traditional pancake batter to make a heartier and healthier version of pancakes. I overlooked putting the sugar in the picture, oopsie! Oat Banana Nut Pancakes adds oats, wheat flour, bananas and walnuts to traditional pancake batter to make a heartier and healthier version of pancakes. The batter before it has rested. Oat Banana Nut Pancakes adds oats, wheat flour, bananas and walnuts to traditional pancake batter to make a heartier and healthier version of pancakes. You can put as many bananas on there as you like! We also make some pancakes with nuts and some without. My youngest daughter is not the biggest fan of nuts, and I know a lot of people are allergic. Normally I will make the batter and let it rest, then make a few pancakes before I put the nuts in. I sometimes do this with cookie recipes also. It’s just a little thing I do to spoil my kids. It is also what makes my kids say “mom’s cooking is the best”. This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled to feed more people. I often double pancake recipes when I am making them for my family because we love them so much! For other breakfast ideas, try Dad’s French Toast or Sausage Gravy over biscuits.

    • 1 tablespoon sugar
    • 1 tablespoon baking powder

    Instructions
     

    • In a large bowl mix the oats, wheat flour, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix in milk, egg, oil, and walnuts.
    • While the pancake batter rests, heat a griddle pan or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until a drop of water "skittles" across it and evaporates. (I heat my electric griddle pan to 350°.)
    • Spray griddle or nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Pour about a ½ cup of batter onto griddle and place sliced bananas on top of each pancake; cook until the tops are covered with bubbles and the edges are dry, flip and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.

    Adapted from 501 Delicious Heart Healthy Recipes Cookbook. You could use all white flour or all wheat flour, I  just happened to like the 50/50 mixture. Look here for more information on the benefits of replacing white flour with wheat flour. For  a very informative article on the health benefits of bananas go to www.well-beingsecrets.com.
