These Banana and Walnut Pancakes are everything you’ve been craving- they are fluffy, satisfying, and bursting with the natural sweetness of ripe bananas and the delightful crunch of walnuts!

There’s nothing quite like starting your day with a stack of warm, fluffy pancakes — especially when they’re made with wholesome, plant-based ingredients! If you’re looking for a breakfast that’s not only delicious but also nourishing, give these Banana and Walnut Pancakes a try! They’re incredibly easy to make, so whether you’re a seasoned cook or a pancake newbie, you’ll have no trouble whipping up a batch for breakfast.

Ingredients

• Flour– I used spelt flour in this recipe, as spelt tends to be more digestible than modern wheat, and it has a slightly nutty flavour which I like. If you’re looking for a traditional pancake texture, you can use all-purpose flour which produces a light and fluffy pancake.
• Non-dairy milk– Almond, soy or oat milk works well, or you can try my homemade nut milk recipe here!
• Baking Powder and Baking Soda – The combination of these helps the pancakes rise and helps the pancakes rise and become fluffy.
• Apple Cider Vinegar – This plays a key role in vegan pancake recipes, its primary purpose being to work with the baking soda and baking powder to create a light and fluffy texture.
• Maple syrup- Maple syrup adds sweetness to the batter and also serves as a great topping for the pancakes. If you don’t have maple syrup, you can use agave nectar, date syrup, or any liquid sweetener of your choice but it will change the flavour slightly.
• Bananas– The ripeness of the banana plays a big role in the flavour and sweetness of your pancakes. The riper the banana, the sweeter and more flavourful the pancakes will be.
• Walnuts- Walnuts are rich in healthy fats, fibre, and protein, making them a perfect addition to this recipe for added nutrition. Their crunchy texture provides a wonderful contrast to the softness of the pancakes. You can easily substitute them with other nuts like pecans or almonds.
