How to Make Banana Walnut Flax Pancake
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat.
- Mash 1 ripe medium banana in a bowl.
- Add 1 cup 5-grain pancake mix, 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, 1 tablespoon flax seeds, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon to the mashed banana.
- Gradually add water (approximately 1/2 - 3/4 cup) while mixing until you achieve a thick, pourable batter, similar to muffin batter but slightly thinner.
- Pour 1/2 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Gently spread into a circle about 5-6 inches in diameter and 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick.
- Cook for 4 minutes on the first side, or until golden brown and edges begin to set.
- Carefully flip the pancakes using a spatula. It's okay if they're a bit delicate; just be patient.
- Cook for another 1-2 minutes on the second side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve immediately. Enjoy plain, or top with your favorite additions like maple syrup, honey, or a dollop of yogurt.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
