Elsie and I have a theory that pancakes are almost always best at home. I think it's the pajama effect. Not that you can't wear your PJs to a diner. You could. Maybe your PJs are adorable. Mine… should stay home. So if I want pancakes in my comfy PJs, I'm gonna have to stay in and make them.
Not only are these banana nut pancakes (think fluffy banana bread), they also have layers of deliciousness in between. You'll see. First let's talk batter.
Banana Nut Pancakes, makes 10 medium-sized pancakes
1 cup flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup toasted walnuts
1-2 ripe bananas
In a bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, sugar and salt. Then stir in the egg, buttermilk and water until nearly no lumps remain. Stir in the toasted walnuts.
Heat a pan over medium heat with a couple tablespoons butter or oil. I like to use oil to get that crispy pancake edge. Once your pan is heated pour in about 1/4-cup of the batter. Quickly lay 3-4 slices of banana into the batter. Let the pancake cook until it begins to bubble about 2-3 minutes. Then flip and continue cooking, until it's cooked through (another minute or two).
You can serve these warm with butter and maple syrup. Or you can get fancy:
Add a layer of peanut butter. Yum! Bananas and peanut butter and meant to be.
Add a layer of Nutella. Boom. Nutella on pancakes is divine.
Enjoy these! xo. Emma

Emma, thank you so much for this great recepy.
Love the bananas in the mix. Delicioso 🙂
The pancakes taste great! Especially when layered with chocolate and peanut spread in between ♡ Just a tip when using gluten free flours: you might wanna add more of it, otherwise you’ll have a really wet batter 🙂
Oh my low carb lord! I’ll be trying this once I’m off the LC philosophy. At least once. Even if it means I’ll have a banging headache for two days after…
My husband doesn’t care for them but I love almond flour pancakes. They are sweet and slightly crunchy and super yummy even without any toppings.
Thanks for the recipe!! I tried making them and they’re just magnifique!! I really love your blog! 😀

Whoops, didn’t quite read the directions carefully enough, mashed the bananas first, and added them in. Banana bread pancakes instead, still a winner!
I’m craving for pancakes now! 🙂
I already tried this recipe, it’s simply perfect <3
Oh yummy! I might make pancakes now

I hate to be the inevitable “is that a typo?” person, but…… The 1c of flour… Is that a typo? I am making these right now, and ended up needing to add nearly 2c of flour(about 1 3/4 or so) to get them even near correct consistency…. I make from-scratch pancakes like these pretty frequently, and we like them thin, and a 1-to-1 ratio of flour and liquid is usually how I roll….. I dunno, just wondering. I do really love the flavor though! They taste just like banana bread!
These look absolutely amazing. I would add a few slices of banana instead of the maple syrup. Def gonna try them this weekend.
perfect for this weekend, must say
Made it this morning with chunky peanut butter. It is going to be a good day.
Ooohh, im drooling. I’m trying this on tommorow breakfast 🙂
This looks sooo good.
Oh wow! I wish I had this right now 🙂

I have to try the fancy version for sure! Sounds so good. Banana+Pancakes+Nutella+Peanutbutter = Heaven
Thank you for sharing!

This looks amazing – definitely trying this! My only question (and it’s probably a dumb one) – is how and when do you add the bananas?
So glad I found these. They’re definitely going on my list of things to make. Never thought of putting nuts in pancakes. Thanks for the tip 🙂
Just woke up and made these. A few adaptations such as pecans not walnuts, and just enough milk to make a thick batter, not buttermilk, and a bit of guessing as not familiar with cups! Turned out beautifully. I liked the softened slightly caramelised slices of banana and the crunch of the nuts 🙂
Oo, so yummy. Today I had for breakfast Nutella with cake but that looks so good too. Have a great day.
These look sooo good, I’ve never made this type of pancake (the super thin crepe kind are traditional here) but you have just completely sold them to me!
Oooh, so delicious!xx

i love all things banana nut, but the nutella did it for me. drooling.
These actually look super delicious, but I definitely would not be able to eat them for breakfast. A midnight snack is more like it!
Pancakes for breakfast it is then aha!!
Those look do good.

This looks so delicious. I’m going to have to try this sometime soon, in the meantime, to the kitchen I go!
Haha, I just changed into my PJs and I’m starving! These look too good, I’m going to have to make them right now instead of tomorrow morning! xx
http://thehonestfox.blogspot.com
Wow, these look amazing! I could seriously eat that entire stack!!
YUM, those look amazing! I love banana nut anything, throw PB and chocolate on there and I’m in heaven!
Breakfast is 100% my favorite meal of the day, and these look absolutely delicious! I can’t wait to try them! xoxo
This was so cruel to read and see before I curled up for bed. Breakfast for dinner is almost necessary now…
I had no idea my mouth could produce so much drool just by looking at pancakes!
Putting nutella and peanut butter on pancakes is the best idea! Those look super yummy!

I´m hungry now.
Yum! I’m always too lazy to make them + end up going to our diner 😉
OH MY GOD. A huge pile of deliciousness! I love Nutella on Banana Pancakes, never thought about PB. Good thing the next weekend is not far away and I have a new skillet.
I can eat almost anything for breakfast, but I hate the look of American pancakes. They’re so incredibly thick, not my taste. And that syrup… 😛
Other than that, I should definitely try to mix banana in my regular pancake mix 🙂
Here I am again, reading your blog hungry. I should have learned by now! 🙂 YUMMMMM.

These sound like the best pancakes ever!
