Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup white whole wheat flour or regular whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon baking powder (not baking soda!)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
2/3 cup milk of choice*
1/2 cup mashed ripe banana (from about 1 large banana), plus another banana for slicing on top
1 large egg
2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey, plus more for serving
2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter or coconut oil
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional toppings: sliced banana, maple syrup, peanut butter or almond butter

Steps:

  • If you're using an electric skillet, preheat it to 350 degrees Fahrenheit now. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Whisk to blend.
  • In a smaller bowl, combine the milk, mashed banana, egg, maple syrup, butter and vanilla. Whisk until blended. Pour the liquid mixture into the flour mixture and mix just until combined.
  • If you are not using an electric skillet, heat a heavy cast iron skillet or nonstick griddle over medium-low heat. You're ready to start cooking pancakes once a drop of water sizzles on contact with the hot surface. If necessary, lightly oil the cooking surface with additional butter or coconut oil, carefully wiping up excess with a paper towel (nonstick surfaces likely won't require any oil).
  • Using a 1/3-cup measuring cup, scoop the batter onto the hot skillet, leaving a couple of inches around each pancake for expansion. Cook until small bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes, 2 to 3 minutes (you'll know it's ready to flip when about 1/2-inch of the perimeter is matte instead of glossy).
  • Flip the pancakes, then cook until lightly golden on both sides, 1 to 2 minutes more. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil and adjusting the heat as necessary.
  • Serve immediately or keep warm in a 200 degree Fahrenheit oven. If desired, top individual servings with a spread of peanut or almond butter and/or sliced bananas, and serve with more maple syrup or honey on the side.
  • Leftover pancakes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or frozen for up to 3 months. To reheat, stack leftover pancakes and wrap them in a paper towel before gently reheating in the microwave.

LOW FAT WHOLE WHEAT BANANA PANCAKES



Low Fat Whole Wheat Banana Pancakes image

These low fat whole wheat banana pancakes are low in calories and fat, but not in taste. If you like, you can add blueberries (I recommend wild blueberries, you can buy them frozen and put them directly into the batter frozen). I haven't tried the pancakes with both blueberries and the cocoa powder, so you may want to remove the cocoa powder from the recipe below if you add blueberries. (New addition: I tried them with double the cocoa and using frozen raspberries and they were even better. I broke the frozen raspberries up into smaller pieces after adding them to the batter.) I've actually never used sugar in this recipe--I've always used Splenda. If you prefer thicker pancakes, you can lessen or eliminate the water in the recipe completely. My kids (5 and 2) like to help with this recipe. I have them each mash one of the bananas, and then pour half of the wet ingredients into each of their bowls to mix. Then, when they're added to the dry ingredients, they each get a turn to mix them into the dry ingredients. Also note: I really like vanilla; if you don't, reduce it to 1/2 tsp. FYI--My wife and I lost 45 lbs each recently, and this is one of the recipes I made regularly during our diet.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your pancakes will be.
  • Mash the bananas well: Make sure to mash the bananas until they are smooth and creamy. This will help to ensure that your pancakes are evenly cooked.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your pancakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat: Cooking the pancakes over medium heat will help to prevent them from burning.
  • Serve the pancakes warm: Pancakes are best served warm. You can top them with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Whole wheat banana pancakes are a delicious and healthy breakfast option. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With their combination of whole wheat flour, bananas, and low-fat milk, these pancakes are a good source of fiber, potassium, and protein.
