Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine 2 ripe bananas, mashed, 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/4 cups milk, 1 large egg, and 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter.

- Heat a non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Banana Nut Pancakes have a rich history dating back to the early 20th century, with roots in American diners and home kitchens. The combination of ripe bananas and crunchy nuts folded into a fluffy pancake batter creates a delightful texture and flavor. The addition of crispy bacon on the side adds a savory contrast, making it a beloved breakfast indulgence. Chefs across the United States, from classic diners in the Midwest to trendy brunch spots in New York City, have put their own spin on this iconic dish. The best version of this dish can be found in cozy diners in the South, where the pancakes are often served with a generous portion of crispy bacon. To make the perfect Banana Nut Pancakes, ripe bananas and high-quality nuts are essential. Some chefs also add a hint of cinnamon or nutmeg to elevate the flavor profile. For a famous alternative method, some cooks caramelize the bananas before incorporating them into the pancake batter, adding a delightful caramelized sweetness to the dish. Whether enjoyed at a bustling diner or homemade in your kitchen, Banana Nut Pancakes with a side of crispy bacon are a timeless breakfast classic that continues to delight food enthusiasts across the globe.
