Servings
4 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups All purpose flour
- 2 Tbsps granulated sugar
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup mashed ripe banana (about 1 medium)
- 1 1/3 cups nonfat milk
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup chopped California walnuts
- Maple syrup or honey optional
- Oil for the griddle or skillet
Instructions
Preparation
- 1 Peel mango then slice fruit from pit; cut into 1/2-inch chunks. Peel and halve the papaya then scrape out the seeds; cut it into 1/2-inch chunks; toss with the mango and set aside.2 If using berries, rinse and pat dry with paper towels; slice strawberriesand set aside to top pancakes.3 In medium bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a large bowl, whisk together banana, milk, egg and walnuts.4 Stir in dry ingredients just until moistened; some lumps in the batter are okay. If the batter seems too thick, add a bit more milk.5 Heat griddle or skillet, preferably nonstick, until medium hot (a few drops of water sprinkled on it will sputter before evaporating).6 Brush with a little oil. Spoon the batter onto the griddle, using about 1/4 cup per pancake. Cook about 2 minutes, until the surface is dry and full of bubbles, then turn and cook up to 1 minute longer or until golden brown.7 Keep pancakes warm in low heat oven.8 Serve pancakes hot with prepared fruit and drizzle with maple syrup or honey, if desired. Serves 4.

I live in Florida, and it is the season where the bananas are growing all over the banana trees. I love this recipe, it gives me another excuse to use up the bananas.
