Sweet and Savory Banana and Almond Butter Pancakes
These banana and almond butter pancakes are a delicious and nutritious way to start your day. They're made with whole wheat flour, ripe bananas, unsweetened almond milk, almond butter, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. The pancakes are cooked in a lightly oiled skillet until they're golden brown and cooked through. Serve them with your favorite toppings, such as fruit, yogurt, or maple syrup.
I first came up with this recipe when I was looking for a way to use up some ripe bananas. I had some almond butter in the fridge, and I thought it would be a good addition to the pancakes. The pancakes turned out so well that I've been making them ever since. I love that they're made with whole wheat flour, which makes them more filling and nutritious than traditional pancakes. The almond butter adds a delicious nutty flavor and creaminess to the pancakes. And the bananas add a natural sweetness and moisture. These pancakes are a great way to start your day, and they're also perfect for a quick and easy breakfast or snack.
