How to Make Cinnamon & Vanilla Pancakes with Bananas and Walnuts
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pancake mix, water, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
-
Whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps, being careful not to overmix. Let the batter rest for 1–2 minutes to thicken.
-
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with non-stick spray. Pour slightly less than 1/4 cup (60 ml) of batter for each pancake.
-
When bubbles appear on the surface and the bottoms are golden brown, flip the pancakes and cook the other side until done. Continue with the remaining batter, keeping cooked pancakes warm in a covered pot on low heat.
-
Slice the bananas and place them in a bowl.
-
Stack the pancakes on a plate, top generously with sliced bananas and walnuts, add butter if desired, and drizzle with maple syrup. Serve immediately and enjoy.
