How to Make Banana Bread Pancakes
- **Make the pancake batter:** In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ½ teaspoon ground ginger.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 large egg yolks, ¼ cup (½ stick) melted unsalted butter, 1 cup milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
- In a clean bowl, beat 2 large egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the batter.
- Gently fold in 2 ripe mashed bananas and ½ cup chopped walnuts.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the hot surface for each pancake.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- **Caramelize the bananas (optional):** In a separate non-stick saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter over medium heat.
- Add ¼ cup packed brown sugar, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and a pinch of nutmeg.
- Cook, stirring constantly, until the sugars dissolve and the mixture begins to bubble.
- Add 1 ripe banana, sliced, and cook until softened and caramelized, about 3-5 minutes.
- **Assemble and serve:** Top the pancakes with the caramelized bananas and remaining chopped walnuts. Serve immediately with warm applesauce.
