Banana Nut Pancakes

This post is in addition to last weeks breakfast recipe, I love this meal because you can combine savory and sweet. Last weeks was savory and this is the sweet! These pancakes are healthy, hearty and easy to put together. The banana, walnuts and maple syrup really transform these pancakes! If you like a little more crunch and texture in your pancake you can pulse the oatmeal in a food processor into small pieces before adding all the ingredients. Either way tastes yummy!

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup pancake mix
- 1/2 cup instant oatmeal
- 1 TBSP sugar
- pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 TSP vanilla extract
- 2 bananas sliced
- 2-3 TBSP chopped walnuts or pecans
- Nutella

Directions
- Place oatmeal in a food processor and pulse or blend to desired texture. Combine pancake mix, oatmeal, sugar, salt, milk and vanilla extract in a bowl and mix until well combined.
- Over medium heat place about 1/4 cup batter on a non-stick pan (I spray a little cooking spray just so it doesn't stick). After about a minute, when the bottom of the pancake is almost done placed sliced bananas on top of the pancake and flip, cook for an additional 30 seconds or so.
- Repeat with remaining batter.
- Stack pancakes and serve with chopped nuts and a little maple syrup.

Serving size: Makes six pancakes

Serving suggestions: Try this with a little Nutella or some chocolate chips for something a little more decadent!
