In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and sugar.
In a separate bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the bananas and whisk until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
Fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat it with butter or oil.
Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set.
Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep them warm while you cook the remaining batter.
Serve the banana nut pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, sliced bananas, or an extra sprinkle of nuts.
