  • 1 Cup Whole Wheat Flour
  • 3 Tbsp White sugar
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • ½ Tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/8 Tsp Salt
  • 1 Tsp Cinnamon
  • ½ Tsp Nutmeg
  • ¼ Tsp Cloves
  • 1 Egg White
  • 1 Cup Buttermilk
  • 2 Tbsp Vegetable Oil
  • 1 Tsp Vanilla
  • 1 Ripe Banana, Mashed
  • ½ Cup walnuts, finely Chopped
  • 1 Banana, Sliced on a diagonal
  • Cinnamon Sugar
  • Butter or cooking spray
  1. Preheat either a non stick griddle or a Non stick 12 inch Fry Pan.
  2. In a large bowl combine all dry ingredients, set aside.
  3. In a small bowl or 2 cup measuring glass combine, egg white, Vegetable Oil, and Vanilla.
  4. Add all at once the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients, using a silicone spatula mix to moisten, leave lumpy. Fold in Mashed Banana, and nuts.
  5. Add 1 Tbsp of butter, or spray cooking surface, and begin to make small pancakes.
  6. You should get about 12 pancakes out of this recipe, so 6 sandwiches.
  7. Once the pancakes are done, take the sliced banana and dip them into the cinnamon sugar, then arrange 2 slices per pancake and top with remaining pancake.

The pancakes can be made ahead, and either put into a zip lock bag with paper towel in between the pancakes to absorb moisture or can be frozen for use at a later date.
