California Walnut, Banana & Carrot Pancakes.

Hello friends, happy Thursday. So how are you today? 

Why not try something different this Shrove Tuesday and add California Walnuts to your pancakes?

Walnuts, with their mild, smooth, and creamy flavour, will provide fresh and fascinating flavours to pancakes, as well as a great crunch!

Walnuts also provide a number of nutritional advantages.

They are the only tree nut with a high concentration of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a plant-based omega-3, with 2.7g/30g*, and one handful has 4.4g of protein and 1.4g of fibre.

Why not try these California Walnut Pancakes with Maple Walnut Butter and California Walnut, Banana, and Carrot Pancakes on Pancake Day?
