Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 and 1/3 cups (167g) whole wheat flour or white whole-wheat flour (spoon & leveled)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 large egg (or 2 egg whites)
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk*
  • 1/2 cup mashed ripe banana (about 1 large banana)
  • 2 Tablespoons packed light or dark brown sugar*
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt*
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • optional: 1/2 cup add-ins (chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, etc.)

Instruction

  • In a large bowl, toss the flour, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon together until combined. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the egg, milk, and banana together. Add brown sugar, yogurt, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
  • Make a well in the dry ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk by hand gently to combine the ingredients. Whisk until *just* combined, no more. A few lumps may remain.
  • Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Coat generously with butter or nonstick spray. Once hot, drop about 1/4 cup of batter on the griddle. Cook until the edges look dry and bubbles begin to form on the sides, about 1 minute. Flip and cook on the other side until cooked through, about 2 more minutes. Coat griddle/skillet again with butter for each pancake or batch of pancakes.
  • Keep pancakes warm in a preheated 200°F (93°C) oven until all pancakes are cooked. Serve immediately with your favorite pancake toppings. Pancakes taste best right after they are made.
