Pancakes are a staple at my house for a weekend breakfast … however, each one of my guys has an opinion of what flavor of pancakes are the best!  I have shared two recipes in the past … Melt In Your Mouth Pancakes and Cornmeal Pancakes.  Today, I’m sharing my favorite … Cinnamon Pecan Banana Pancakes … maybe they should be called Mom’s Favorite Pancakes 😉

I highly recommend these for breakfast on New Year’s Day … start the year off right … with pancakes!

Cinnamon Pecan Banana Pancakes

• 1-1/4 cups flour (I use unbleached)
• 1 tablespoon baking powder (preferably aluminum free)
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 egg beaten
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 1 to 1-1/3 cups milk
• 1/2 cup pecans, finely chopped
• 4 bananas or 1 per person

1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.  In a small bowl combine egg, oil and 1 cup milk.
2. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir to combine.  Stir in pecans.  Let batter rest, about 10 minutes while griddle is heating.
3. Turn on electric griddle to 350°F or medium heat over open flame.
4. Add milk to pancake batter until desired consistency, about that of cake batter.
5. Oil/grease griddle if desired.  Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake on preheated griddle.  Cook until bubbles pop and remain open.  Flip and continue cooking until done.   Makes about eight 5″ pancakes.
6. Serve with sliced banana and warm maple syrup.
