Whole Wheat Banana Walnut Pancakes

Let’s get our day started with these whole wheat banana walnut pancakes! They are perfect with maple syrup and even better topped with this apple-walnut compote.

Prep Time 10 minutes

Active Time 10 minutes

Total Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

2 ripe bananas
1/2 cup Sprouts milk
2 Sprouts Cage Free Farm Fresh Eggs
1 cup Sprouts Whole Wheat Flour
1 tsp Sprouts Baking Powder
1 cup walnut pieces and halves, roughly chopped
1 Tbsp butter or baking spray for pan
Sprouts Organic Maple Syrup Grade A

Instructions

Make the compote: Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Toast 1 cup walnuts for 8-10 minutes, tossing the walnuts once to redistribute. You’ll know the walnuts are toasted when they are lightly browned and fragrant. Set aside. In a small saucepan add the chopped apples, water, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Heat on medium for five minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and add the raisins and the toasted walnuts. Stir to combine. Set aside.
Make the pancakes: In a blender combine the bananas, milk, eggs, flour, and baking powder. Process until smooth. Pour the mixture into a medium bowl; add the chopped walnuts.
Heat a large skillet or griddle on medium heat. Coat the skillet with a small bit of butter or baking spray. Scoop ¼ cup batter at a time onto the griddle. Cook for 2 minutes or until you see bubbles around the edges of the pancake. Flip and continue to cook for an additional minute. Remove and serve while hot. Top with maple syrup and apple compote. Makes 12 pancakes.

Notes

The compote makes a lovely topping for these whole wheat pancakes.

Did you know these fun facts about walnuts?

Walnuts are the only nut that offer an excellent source of the plant-based omega-3 ALA (2.5 grams/ounce), which is important for heart health and may help reduce the risk of heart disease.
More than 25 years of research has shown how walnuts may play a role in heart health, brain health, cancer, weight and male reproductive health.
