Banana Macadamia Pancakes have all the flavor of Hawaii. Mashed banana and toasted macadamia nuts give these soft, fluffy pancakes lots of flavor.
Pancakes are my go to weekend breakfast. Buttermilk Pancakes are my alltime favorite, but when a little tropical flavor is what you are after, these Banana Macadamia Pancakes do not disappoint. The buttery crunch of a macadamia nut is one of my very favorite flavors.
The bananas add sweetness and flavor to the batter and the macadamia nuts add a buttery crunch. A magical combination.
Recipe Tips:
- To reduce the amount of time it takes to make these pancakes in the morning, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt the night before.
- Milk can be substituted for the buttermilk in a pinch.
- Use an overly ripe banana for the pancake batter. You want your banana to have lots of sweetness and be really easy to mash.
- Don’t overmix the batter.
- For even more Hawaiian flavor, you could sprinkle the pancakes with shredded coconut.
- Add a few chocolate chips if you are a chocolate fanatic. Peanut butter chips would be delicious too.
- A little cinnamon can be added for extra flavor.
