Banana pancakes



I've been on a banana craze lately. I buy bananas just to wait for them to be too ripe to eat just so I can use them to bake something. This morning I made banana pancakes. They are from the allrecipes.com website and they had a ton of great reviews so it didn't seem like I could go wrong. I usually make mini pancakes just because that's what size is good for my son. As you can see it made a ton of mini pancakes. I added walnuts to mine just to give a little more texture-about 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts. A great weekend breakfast!

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 ripe bananas, mashed

Directions

Combine flour, white sugar, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together egg, milk, vegetable oil and bananas.
Stir flour mixture into banana mixture; batter will be slightly lumpy.
Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Cook until pancakes are golden brown on both sides; serve hot.
