A weekend without pancakes is no weekend at all, at least in my opinion. And as much as I love our favorite buttermilk pancakes even I need to switch things up from time to time. Enter these hearty and wholesome whole wheat banana nut pancakes.

Just a few small changes— whole wheat flour in place of some of the all-purpose, mashed bananas instead of lots of butter, a dash of cinnamon, and a huge handful of chopped walnuts. But those changes yield so much fabulous flavor.

They’re thick, fluffy, and completely irresistible. Plus, they smell and taste just like banana bread and that makes my taste buds very happy. Serve them up however you’d like, but some sliced bananas and chopped walnuts on top with a heavy pour of real maple syrup made the whole dish sing.

These whole wheat banana nut pancakes are exactly what I want to cozy up to every Saturday morning from now until summer.
