Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 1 large Ripe banana
- 1 large Egg
- 0.75 cups Non-fat milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup
- 1 as needed Cooking spray or a small amount of oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Mix well and set aside.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, mash the ripe banana with a fork until almost smooth.
Add the egg, non-fat milk, vanilla extract, and honey (or maple syrup) to the mashed banana. Whisk until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
Once the skillet is hot, spoon 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Spread the batter slightly with the back of the spoon if needed.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
Repeat with the remaining batter, re-spraying the skillet as needed.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of yogurt.
