Ingredients for Banana Walnut Flax Pancake

How to Make Banana Walnut Flax Pancake

  1. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat.
  2. Mash 1 ripe medium banana in a bowl.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Cook for 4 minutes on the first side, or until golden brown and edges begin to set.
  7. Carefully flip the pancakes using a spatula. It's okay if they're a bit delicate; just be patient.
  8. Cook for another 1-2 minutes on the second side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  9. 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

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
