These delicious banana pancakes made with whole wheat flour and honey have a pleasantly nutty flavor that everyone will love.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 1/2 cups milk
2 large eggs, separated, divided
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 medium bananas, thinly sliced
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 teaspoon vegetable oil, or as needed

Directions

1 Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, and ginger in a large bowl.
2 Combine milk, egg yolks, melted butter, honey, and vanilla in a medium bowl. Stir into the flour mixture and mix briefly to form a lumpy batter.
3 Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into the pancake batter. Gently fold in bananas and walnuts.
4 Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, pour or scoop 1/4 cupfuls batter onto the hot surface and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
