Coconut-Banana Pancakes

Step 1

Heat oven to 325 degrees. Whisk flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and kosher salt together in a mixing bowl. Using the whisk, make a well in the center. Pour the buttermilk into the well and crack eggs into buttermilk. Pour in the melted butter. Starting in the center, whisk everything together, moving toward the outside of the bowl, until no dry bits remain. Do not overbeat. (Lumps are fine.) Fold in banana slices. The batter can be refrigerated for up to 1 hour.

Step 2

Heat a large nonstick griddle or skillet, preferably cast iron, over low heat for about 5 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet. Turn heat up to medium–low and using a measuring cup, ladle 1/3 cup batter into the skillet. If you are using a large skillet or a griddle, repeat once or twice, taking care not to overcrowd the cooking surface.

Step 3

Flip pancakes after bubbles rise to surface and bottoms brown, after about 2 to 4 minutes. Cook until the other sides are lightly browned. Remove pancakes to a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet, and keep in heated oven until all the batter is cooked and you are ready to serve.
