Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 2 medium Ripe bananas
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any low-fat milk alternative)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until smooth. Ensure there are no large lumps.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and unsweetened almond milk to the mashed bananas. Whisk until well combined.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon (if using), and salt.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula or whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Preheat a non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat. Lightly coat with non-stick cooking spray.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to gently spread the batter into a round shape if needed.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
