Banana bread and pancakes are one of our favourite breakfast hybrids (no one will be able to resist a stack of their own).

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 tsp baking powder

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

  • 4 overripe bananas

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 cup sour cream

  • 1/3 cup butter, melted

  • 1/3 cup brown sugar

  • 1 tsp vanilla

  • 2/3 cup chocolate chips, (optional)

  • 2/3 cup chopped toasted walnuts, (optional)

Toppings (optional)

  • Maple syrup

  • Chocolate chips

  • Walnuts

Instructions

  • WHISK flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda and cinnamon in a large bowl.

  • MASH bananas in a medium bowl with a fork. It should measure 1 1/2 cups. Whisk in eggs, sour cream, butter, brown sugar and vanilla. Fold into flour mixture until just combined. Stir in chocolate and walnuts.

  • HEAT a large non-stick frying pan over medium. Spray with oil. Pour heaping 1/3-cup portions of batter into pan, then spread into 3-in. rounds. Cook until bubbles form on top and edges begin to brown, about 3 min. Adjust heat to medium-low if browning too quickly. Flip and continue cooking until bottoms of pancakes are golden, about 3 min. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve banana bread pancakes with maple syrup, chocolate chips and walnuts.
