In case you were wondering, Banana anything and I am completely in. I am obsessed. Examples can be found Here, Here, Here and Here. Probably Banana Bread being my biggest weakness.

Banana Walnut Pancakes

Then enter my kids- who by the way feel the same way about pancakes as I feel about banana bread. And while I love pancakes as much as the next carb obsessed girl, I am always trying to push them into switching things up! (I am sure you can guess how well that goes over). Peach and Coconut, PB&J, swedish style, blueberries, pumpkin, FIGS, I am a pusher of the highest order.

Banana Walnut Pancakes

So they were double time rolling their eye’s at me over these Banana Walnut Pancakes (obviously inspired by banana bread). But guess what? They gobbled these down like pancakes were going out of style. Coco did pause and say “what are these little hard things in the pancakes?” I said “walnuts, you like them remember?” and then braced myself for the rejection. But it never came- she just went on eating them. I even made a gluten/dairy/egg free version for Pia ( she will share it on her blog soon) and those were a hit too!

Banana Walnut Pancakes

With the temperatures so far below freezing, a hot weekend breakfast seems like the right thing. Saturday we have snow forecasted, (I have explained Seattle and Snow before, but it is a big deal/disaster zone every time) so I am stocking up on hibernating supplies and bananas and maple syrup are at the top of my list!
