Ingredients
  

Griddle Cakes

  • 3/4 cups milk
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup bananas mashed
  • 1/2 cup walnut pieces toasted

Caramelized Bananas

  • 2 tsp coconut or vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1 large banana sliced
  • 1/4 cup walnut pieces toasted
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions
 

  • Combine milk and vinegar in a small bowl and set aside 5 minutes.
  • Whisk together dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Add oil, banana puree, walnuts, and milk mixture. Whisk until smooth.
  • Heat a griddle or nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Grease griddle with coconut or vegetable oil over medium heat.
  • Pour cakes and cook for about 2 minutes, or until little bubbles form on edges of cakes. Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes. Reduce heat if needed to allow cakes to cook through without getting too brown. Serve immediately or keep hot in a warm oven until ready to serve.
  • For sauce, add coconut oil and sugar to medium nonstick pan over medium high heat. Let sugar melt. When it starts to turn golden brown, add syrup, which will bubble. Add bananas, walnuts, and salt.
  • Stir gently until mixture has a golden crust.
  • Top griddle cakes with hot caramelized sauce.
