Banana-macadamia pancakes

[sherri]

Hi all,
I haven't actually made these yet, but I thought they sounded good. FYI for anyone who is interested!

Banana-macadamia pancakes

Combine in large bowl:
2 cups flour (calls for all-purpose, I will probably use WW pastry and/or spelt)
1 tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. baking soda
1/3 cup sugar
Pinch of salt
1 tsp. nutmeg, freshly ground

To dry ingredients add:
2 cups buttermilk
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
1 big handful of sweetened shredded coconut
1 big handful of macadamia nuts, chopped

Stir all the ingredients together until they are just combined. It’s ok if the batter is a bit lumpy, don’t overmix.
Heat your skillet or pan to medium-heat and brush it with a bit of butter. When pan is ready (drop of water dances), pour about 1/3 cup of the batter onto skillet.
Place about 3 extra-thin slices of banana on top of the dollop of pancake batter as it is cooking.
Wait until the pancake bottom is deep golden in color, then flip with a spatula and cook the other side until golden. Repeat with remaining batter. Top with sifted powdered sugar, if desired.

Sherri, don't mean to hi-jack your thread, but this is my "to try" pancake.
There isn't an IHOP near us, so anytime I get into one I order these.

NOTES : Wholesome grains and nuts get it on in this clone for the signature pancakes from the country's largest pancake chain. The whole wheat flour and oats add more flavor, while the nuts pitch in for a crunch in every bite. Take a break from gummy, bland traditional pancakes. Make a breakfast that pacifies your pancake urge, and leaves you feeling peppy.
