Banana Walnut Pancakes

We love pancakes.  Miss E and I usually makes them for breakfast on the weekend and occasionally we have them for dinner. Who says you can’t eat breakfast for dinner? I had some ripe banana’s and instead of making banana bread, I thought what about making banana walnut pancakes. They were a hit. “Tasty” according to my four year old.  The natural sweet flavour from the ripe banana’s is like dessert for breakfast, ok maybe not. But they are deliciously sweet and the walnuts complement the banana’s perfectly.

I like to bake and cook with banana’s and other fruit such as blueberries because you can reduce the sugar content without compromising taste. I made these turmeric breakfast muffins from green kitchen stories they were delicious and sweetened with date, blueberries, and banana’s. I am looking forward to trying these healthy oat bars with BC blueberries from to die for.
