If like me you’re a fan of buttermilk pancakes, then you will fall head over heels for these Banana Buttermilk Pancakes. I swear, they are just as good as the real deal, only, these ones, you can eat without feeling guilty in the least. Indeed, they are made with wholesome ingredients like whole wheat flour, bananas, eggs and buttermilk…

Honestly, I never thought pancakes could come in a moister version than buttermilk, but seriously, the combination of bananas and buttermilk makes for an unbelievably moist and tender pancake. And so tasty, too! They’re like a combination of sweet banana bread and tangy buttermilk pancakes. So tasty AND moist, you barely even need to garnish them with anything at all!

Next time you’re in the mood for pancakes, you really have to try these, I swear; they will knock your socks right off!

Bananas, buttermilk, eggs and vanilla extract in a large measuring cup and flour in a blue bowl in the background

To start, combine a cup of whole wheat flour, some baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a bowl and whisk until all the ingredients are super well combined. Then, in another bowl, mash 2 super ripe bananas and whisk in a cup of buttermilk, 2 large eggs and some vanilla extract.

Finally, fold in a handful of chopped pecans.

Now heat a little bit of oil in a non-stick pan set over moderate heat. Note that the oil isn’t absolutely necessary but it makes for crispier pancakes, so I strongly suggest that you do add some. You don’t need much at all… I used avocado oil, but feel free to use whichever oil you prefer. 

Working in batches, drop ¼ cup measures of batter onto pan to form pancakes.
