Steps
In a large bowl, crush matzah and soak in hot water for 15 seconds before draining excess water.
In a separate bowl, combine the bananas, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon and salt.
Into the large bowl of drained matzah, add the egg and banana mixture, and stir to combine.
In a small pan over low heat, melt about 1 Tbsp of butter (per pancake), then use a 1/2 cup to measure out your pancakes. Flatten with a spatula and fry until golden brown on each side, about 3-5 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.
Top with cinnamon sugar, walnuts, bananas and maple syrup.
