Nanner Walnut Pancakes

I had been surviving on eggs (in just about every way, shape and form) for the last few months for breakfast. Needless to say, this past Saturday I was craving a change in my morning routine. This meant one of two things. I could either a.) succumb to Voodoo Doughnuts being my backyard and get a ridiculously topped and injected hunk of pure carbohydrates or b.) experiment in the kitchen.

Fortunately I had an overripe banana and an idea.  (A dangerous combination, but not nearly as dangerous as fried dough.) After a little bit of research I made Nanner Walnut Pancakes. This recipe is super quick and the batter was thick enough that it didn't spread and merge into a cell-undergoing-mitosis shape when I dumped (yes "dumped" and not "poured") it in the skillet. 

What You Need:

The ingredients (I made a half batch, the recipe is for 4- 6 pancakes.)

2 Eggs

2 Egg Whites

2 Bananas, overripe

1/4 cup of Walnuts, chopped

3 Tablespoons of Coconut Flour

1/2 teaspoon of Baking Powder

1 teaspoon of Vanilla Extract

Cooking Spray or Coconut Oil

What To Do:

In a medium bowl, mash the bananas with a fork. Next mix in the vanilla, egg, and egg whites. (If you want to forgo the egg whites, use 3 whole eggs. If you prefer to cut out the egg yolks, use 6 egg whites.) Stir in the coconut flour and baking powder until slightly lumpy. Last, stir in the walnuts.

In the pan it goes!

Spray a medium skillet with cooking spray. (If cooking spray is not your style, you can also melt a 1/2 Tablespoon of coconut oil for cooking.) Heat the pan over medium heat. Pour/ dump a portion of the batter into the pan. Cook the pancake until the top of it is bubbled and looks "dry." Flip and continue cooking on the other side until the bottom side is browned. Remove from pan and put it on a plate. Continue this process until you are out of batter or made all you care to eat.

Once your plate looks like this, grab a fork and get ready for some nutty, nanner goodness! These pancakes are so moist you don't need butter or syrup (especially if you use coconut oil for cooking them). Added bonus: you won't want to nap after eating them!
