Ingredients

BANANA PANCAKES:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups buttermilk
  • cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 3 large eggs

Instructions

MAKE PANCAKE BATTER:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In another medium bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the buttermilk, sour cream, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  • Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients
  • Gently stir until just combined, do not over mix. The batter will be lumpy with a few flour streaks.
  • Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.

PREP PANCAKE GRIDDLE:

  • Preheat a pancake griddle or 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat for the last few minutes of the batter resting time.
  • Add 1 teaspoon of oil to the skillet and heat until simmering. If you’re using a griddle, use a silicone pastry brush to spread the oil over the griddle.

MAKE PANCAKES:

  • Fill a ¼ cup measuring cup or large ice cream scoop with batter and pour onto a hot griddle or skillet.
  • Add several slices of banana to the top of each pancake.
  • Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the edges are set and underneath is golden brown.
  • Flip and continue cooking 1-2 minutes longer or until golden brown.
  • Repeat with any remaining batter. Oil the skillet or griddle as needed.

TO FINISH:

  • Serve immediately with additional banana slices, coconut syrup, and chopped macadamia nuts.
