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
In a medium bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth.
Add the egg to the mashed banana and whisk until well combined.
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.
Heat a lightly oiled or sprayed non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot pan.
Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
Notes
For extra protein, add a scoop of your favorite protein powder to the batter.
You can substitute whole wheat flour with all-purpose flour if preferred.
