For whatever reason lately, once I buy bananas, if I don’t eat any the day I buy them, the next day they are basically ready to use as banana bread.  When my son-in-law lived here, I made so many things with bananas because Hannah wouldn’t touch a banana if it one tiny brown spot on it.  If I made blueberry muffins he’d ask “is there banana in there?”  To which my answer was always yes!  And Greek yogurt – ha!

What type of nuts are good for diabetics?

According to www.activebeat.com:

“Perhaps the “King” of the nut family due to the amazing amount of nutritional value, walnuts are a must for any type of diet. Walnuts contain all the typical components of most nuts like protein, antioxidants, and omega-3 fatty acids. They also contain a number of other things that you won’t find in every nut, like Elegiac acid, a cancer-fighting substance usually found in fruits like pomegranate and strawberries.”

How long should pancake batter rest?

Ideally, 30 minutes.  This allows the flour to absorb the liquid, and you’ll be rewarded with light, fluffy pancakes every time.  It also allows the baking powder to do its magic.  See all those gorgeous bubbles!

Ingredients:

  • flour
  • baking powder (make sure its fresh!)
  • salt
  • cinnamon
  • walnuts
  • eggs
  • greek yogurt
  • banana

Banana Bread Pancakes

Yield: 6 pancakes
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes

These banana bread pancakes are perfect for weekly meal prep. These are not overly sweet which is why I love them so much.

I made this 6 servings, so you can decide how many to eat - for me one was 3 points, or two or 6 points - and two were plenty filling!

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup walnuts
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 1 medium banana, ripe

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and walnuts together.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the eggs, yogurt and banana and mash until combined.
  3. Add the wet batter to the dry batter.
  4. Let the batter sit a minimum of 30 minutes.
  5. Using a 1/3 measuring cup, cook over medium low heat for about 2 minutes a side, or until golden brown.

Notes

On my WW plan, each pancake is 3 points. If you count calories or macros, each pancake is: 136 calories, 5 fat, 18 carbs, 1 fiber and 6 grams of protein.

Note, there is no sugar in these pancakes - only the sweetness of the banana. With the sugar free pancake syrup and blueberries, this breakfast is just sweet enough for my taste.

If you are new here, welcome to My Bizzy Kitchen! I started this blog 16 years ago to document my recipes and daily life, never imagining it would one day become my full-time career. After losing my husband nearly 10 years ago, I navigated the hardest chapter of my life while still finding joy in cooking and sharing my journey.

In December 2020, I took a leap of faith and left my 30-year career as a legal secretary to pursue My Bizzy Kitchen full-time, a decision that changed my life.

Two years later, in October 2022, I was able to hire my daughter, Hannah, full-time, which brings me so much joy. Now, My Bizzy Kitchen is more than just recipes.  It’s about embracing life, finding balance, and making healthy living sustainable and fun.

Follow along for delicious recipes (mostly Weight Watchers friendly!), realistic weight loss tips, and my daily adventures on Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and Facebook (@mybizzykitchen). Let’s get bizzy in the kitchen together!
