These healthy banana pancakes are a delicious and nutritious way to start your day. They are naturally sweetened with bananas and made with whole wheat flour for added fiber.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons milk (any type)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (alcohol-free)
  • A pinch of salt
  • Oil or cooking spray for greasing the pan

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth.
  2. Add the egg to the mashed banana and whisk until well combined.
  3. Stir in the whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  4. Heat a lightly oiled or sprayed non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat.
  5. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot pan.
  6. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
