How to Make Banana Buttermilk Pancakes

  1. Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C) and keep warm.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour, ½ cup all-purpose flour, ¼ cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups buttermilk, 1 large egg, and 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter.
  4. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  6. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  7. Immediately top each pancake with 2-3 banana slices, evenly spaced.
  8. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to form on the surface and edges look set.
  9. Transfer cooked pancakes to a baking sheet in the preheated oven to keep warm while you cook the remaining batter.
  10. Serve warm with maple syrup and chopped walnuts (optional).
