These Nutty Nut Pancakes are quite possibly the nuttiest pancakes you’ll ever eat! There are three types of nuts in this recipe to give you a crunch with every bite.

Happy Pancake Day! I give you (via Buzzfeed) 17 reasons why Pancake Day is the best day ever! It’s time to go NUTS over pancakes! And to do that, I present you with Nutty Nut Pancakes. Yes, that’s two nuts in there because these are quite possibly the nuttiest pancakes ever.

These Nutty Pancakes have nuts in the pancake batter and nuts on top of the pancakes

These pancakes are so nutty that each bite starts and ends with a crunch. But don’t worry –fluffy, light and airiness (the adjectives that so many pancakes strive to reach) are still captured here. The starting point for these pancakes is the Clinton Street Baking Company Cookbook (as printed in Verily), and their trick for fluffy and light pancakes?

Make fluffy pancakes by whipping egg whites separately

Whip the egg whites separately, and fold them in only until the batter looks like “whitecaps in the ocean with foam on top.” Fold them with a gentle hand using a spatula. You don’t want to crush the air bubbles that you just spent time whipping up.

Maybe you’ve also struggled with this before too, but sometimes when I pour maple syrup all over my pancakes, I find that my pancakes can get a bit soggy before I actually reach the end of my breakfast. These Nutty Nut Pancakes solve that problem because the nuts give crunch and texture to each bite.

These pancakes have a hearty texture from the nuts inside the batter

Feel free to pour on the maple syrup and let it soak into the pancakes if that’s your thing. These fluffy pancakes welcome the addition of maple syrup.

To make these Nutty Nut Pancakes (Haha, I can’t stop saying it! It just rolls off my tongue so easily.), I used my new Cuisinart Grill and Griddle. While I’ve always gotten by making pancakes on the stove, having a griddle for pancakes adds a whole new level of fun because the griddle can sit right on the kitchen breakfast bar so everyone can eat and cook at the same time!

Do you make your pancakes on the stove top or on a griddle?

Happy Pancake Day to you! I hope your day is filled with a sweet, savory, fluffy, thin, baked, or however-you-like pancake.
