Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cups milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2 ripe bananas, sliced
  • ¼ cup chopped walnuts

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay.
  4. Gently fold in the chocolate chips, sliced bananas, and chopped walnuts.
  5. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
  6. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown.
  7. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or cooking spray as needed.
  8. Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup and extra sliced bananas on top.
