Ingredients

• PANCAKES:
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 2 1/4 cups shaken buttermilk, plus more for loosening batter if necessary
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 1/2 cup chopped lightly toasted walnuts
• Melted butter for cooking pancakes
• MAPLE-CINNAMON BROWN BUTTER:
• 1 stick butter
• 1 cup maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

• Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl. Whisk together the eggs, buttermilk and melted butter. Combine the wet and dry ingredients and whisk until just combined (batter will be slightly lumpy). Fold in walnuts.
• Place butter in a saucepan and cook over medium-high heat until browned and a nutty aroma develops, 1-2 minutes. Add syrup, cinnamon and salt and take off heat.
• Heat a griddle or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and brush griddle with additional melted butter. Measure out pancake batter 1/3 cup at a time and pour in batches into griddle or skillet. After ladling batter onto griddle, place four or five ¼-inch banana slices on top of pancake. Flip gently; continue cooking until done--bananas will caramelize slightly.
• Cook until edges brown and bubbles form around edges and center of pancakes, 2-3 minutes per side. Flip and continue cooking.
• Serve over maple-cinnamon brown butter over Banana-Walnut pancakes.
• Note: If batter becomes too thick, loosen with additional buttermilk, adding 1 tablespoon at a time, If you like sweeter pancakes, add an additional tablespoon of sugar to the batter.
