Banana-Pecan Pancakes image

These are SO simple, yet delicious! I have to make this everytime my little cousins stay the night. Borrowed my favorite tried-and-true basic pancake recipe and added some tasty zip!

Time 45m

Yield 3-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4-1 1/2 cups milk
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 -2 overripe banana
1 cup pecans

Steps:

  • In a bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients.
  • Make a well in the center and pour in the milk.
  • Start with 1 1/4 cups milk, adding up to another 1/4 cup if necessary, as you mix it with the flour.
  • Add the two eggs, vanilla if using and oil, whisking until mixed but still a bit lumpy.
  • Peel bananas, placing in a seperate bowl. (You may want to reserve half a banana for the syrup, see below). Mash with fork, then stir into pancake mix.
  • Add chopped pecans.
  • Heat a frying pan (if it is not non-stick, you will need to melt a bit of butter or oil in it) and when hot, pour desired amount of pancake mix.
  • When the pancake starts to bubble on top and is golden brown on the cooked side, turn it and continue cooking until both sides are golden brown.
  • Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter. You may need to adjust the heat as pan tends to get hotter as you keep making pancakes.
  • Keep the cooked pancakes covered with a tea towel, to keep them warm while you finish cooking the rest.
  • To add even more flavor, I use store bought bottled syrup, place 1 cup in small saucepan, add 1/2 reserved banana, in slices, and heat until just warm. The banana adds SO much flavor! I dip the syrup over the pancakes without the banana chunks, but you can do either way.
