Ingredients  

  • 1 cup AP flour
  • 0.5 cup almond flour
  • 3 Tablespoons sugar
  • 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 1.5 cups buttermilk
  • 3 tablespoons macadamia nut oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ripe large banana chopped
  • 0.5 cup roasted or toasted macadamia nuts chopped

Instructions 

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the two flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a separate large bowl, whisk together the liquid ingredients (buttermilk, oil, eggs, vanilla) until smooth.
  • Fold in the flour mixture until just combined - do not overmix!
  • Fold in the chopped banana and half of the macadamia nuts (save the rest for topping).The batter will be pretty thick - that is how it should be so, don't worry.
  • Heat up a skillet with some oil or butter over medium heat. Work in batches - use a cookie dough scoop or a quarter cup measure to pour about 0.25 cups of batter per pancake into your skillet or pan. Cook about 2 minutes on each side, until bubbles appear and the pancakes are golden brown.
  • Serve with maple syrup or melted butter and top with remaining mac nuts.
