How to make banana nut pancakes with almonds?
To make banana nut pancakes with almonds, we use the following ingredients.
ingredients used
ripe bananas 1 large sized
almonds ¾ cup
all purpose flour 1.5 cups
baking powder 1.5 teaspoon
milk 1.5 cups
sugar 4 tablespoons
olive oil 2 tablespoons
vanilla extract ½ teaspoon
almond extract ½ teaspoon
cinnamon powder ½ teaspoon
Step by step instructions
Soak the almonds in water for about 5 to 6 hours in advance. This is to soften the almonds prior to using in making the pancake batter.
Once the almonds are soaked, discard the water used for soaking and wash the almonds very well in fresh water.
Place the almonds, banana, milk, sugar, vanilla and almond extracts in a good quality blender and blend the mixture very well.
Now the almond banana milk mixture to make the banana nut pancake batter is ready!
If you do not want the almonds to be blended very smooth, you can lightly blend them or you can add a few sliced almonds as well to the batter later.
Also, if you do not want to blend the banana, you may mash the banana and add to the batter separately.
To make the almond banana nut pancake batter:
In a separate large bowl, mix the flour and baking powder very well so they are mixed evenly.
Add the prepared almond banana milk mixture (the one prepared in the blender) to the dry flour mixture.
Mix well to combine the ingredients and make sure there is no dry flour left in the bottom of the bowl.
Also add the olive oil and stir well into the batter.
The batter should be slightly thick but not too thick so you can easily pour the batter to the pan to make the pancakes.
(Keep in mind that if the pancake batter is too thick, the pancakes may turn out dense).
In case the batter is too thick, you may add little more milk (about 2 tablespoons milk at a time) and mix with the batter to adjust the consistency of the prepared pancake batter
As I mentioned early, if you wish to add sliced almonds, add the sliced almonds (blanched almonds without skin that are sliced thinly) to the prepared batter and mix in evenly (this is optional).
Now the homemade banana nut pancake batter with almonds and banana is ready!
To make the almond banana nut pancakes:
In a greased skillet or non stick pan, pour 2 ladles of pancake batter and cook in medium heat for a couple of minutes until bubbles appear on top of the pancakes.
You may add little oil or butter to the pan if needed, to help with cooking the pancakes easily.
Once bubbles appear on top of the pancakes, gently flip the pancakes and cook the other side too.
Once it is cooked, transfer the pancake to a serving plate. Similarly cook all pancakes until the batter is finished.
Serve with pure fresh maple syrup, honey or butter etc as you like. You may also add freshly sliced bananas, sliced almonds etc if you wish.
Notes: In this banana nut pancakes, I didn’t add any sliced almonds so the texture of the pancakes is smooth.
If you wish to add sliced almonds, add about 2 tablespoons of sliced almonds (blanched almonds without skin that are sliced thinly) to the prepared batter and mix in evenly (this is optional and you need to do this only if you wish to have bites of nuts inside the pancakes).
Aso while the pancakes are cooking (the first side), you may add few thinly sliced blanched almonds on top for garnishing if you like!
