Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 medium Ripe bananas
- 1 large Egg
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter or oil
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Add the egg, milk, vanilla extract, and honey (or maple syrup), and whisk until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with a small amount of unsalted butter or oil.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Spread lightly if needed. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancakes carefully with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, yogurt, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
