Easy Whole Wheat Banana Pancakes
These fluffy banana pancakes are a wholesome way to start your morning on a cozy note.
recipesbynani.comThere is nothing quite like waking up to the smell of fresh pancakes on a slow morning. I love these because they use whole wheat flour and fresh fruit, making them feel like a treat while still being good for you.
My biggest tip is to make sure your pan is heated properly before you pour the batter. If you drop a tiny bit of water on the surface and it sizzles, you are ready to start cooking.
🧺 Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 large ripe banana, mashed
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup milk of your choice
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Butter or oil for the pan
👩🍳Instructions
- 1
Whisk the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large mixing bowl.
- 2
In a separate smaller bowl, stir together the mashed banana, egg, milk, sweetener, and vanilla.
- 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix as a few lumps are perfectly fine.
- 4
Heat a lightly oiled skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- 5
Pour about a quarter cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
- 6
Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
💡 Tips
These pancakes freeze beautifully if you let them cool completely before placing them in a freezer bag. When you want a quick breakfast, just pop them in the toaster. You can also add a handful of blueberries to the batter for an extra pop of flavor.
