Banana Pancakes with Walnut Honey

Pancakes:
1-1/3 cups Easy Pancake Mix
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup low-fat buttermilk
1/4 cup water
1 egg
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large banana, halved lengthwise and cut into thin slices

Walnut Honey:
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
1/3 cup honey
1 tablespoon water

Combine the pancake mix and cinnamon in a large bowl. Combine the buttermilk, water, egg, oil and vanilla extract in a separate bowl. Whisk into the pancake mix and stir until smooth. Fold in the banana. Set aside.

In a small bowl, combine the walnuts, honey and water.

Coat a large nonstick skillet or griddle with cooking spray over medium heat. Add the pancake batter in scan 1/4 cupfuls and cook for about two minutes or until the pancakes have puffed and the undersides are lightly browned. Flip the pancakes and cook for about 2 minutes longer or until lightly browned. Serve with the walnut honey.
