Banana Bread Pancakes
Description
With the flavor of banana bread and the texture of a classic pancake, Chef John's fusion between the two is a sweet success.
Ingredients
•
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
•
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
•
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
•
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
•
1 large ripe banana
•
1 large egg
•
1/3 cup white sugar
•
1/4 cup milk
•
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
•
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
•
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
•
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, or as needed
Directions
1
Combine flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a small bowl with a whisk. Reserve until needed.
2
Place banana in a mixing bowl and mash into a smooth paste with a potato masher. Add egg and sugar and whisk thoroughly until sugar is dissolved and mixture is smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add milk, vanilla extract, 1/4 cup melted butter, walnuts, and flour mixture. Whisk until just combined.
3
Let batter rest for 10 minutes.
4
Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large, nonstick pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, transfer in about 1/3 cup of the batter per pancake. Reduce heat to medium and cook until edges start to look dry and small air bubbles pop up through the surface, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes more. Serve immediately.
