Banana Walnut Pancakes

Start off by mixing the walnut flour with baking powder, sugar and salt in a medium bowl. In a large mixing bowl, combine eggs, milk, and mashed bananas and stir well until evenly mixed. Next you’ll need to sift in the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until the batter is just combined (be careful not to over mix or you may end up with tough pancakes).

Once the batter’s ready, heat up a little oil over medium-low heat in a non-stick skillet, then pour half cup of batter into the middle of the skillet to form a small circle. Be patient and allow the batter to cook until you see bubbles rising to the surface and the surface is no longer shiny. When the bottom is golden brown, flip the pancake over and allow it to cook for a little more until the other side is also golden. Repeat until all the batter has been used up, and then serve the pancakes with sliced bananas and a generous drizzle of honey.
