Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup whole wheat flour 🌾
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt 🧂
- 1 large ripe banana, mashed 🍌
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based) 🥛
- 1 large egg 🥚
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup 🍯
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter 🧈
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, mash the banana and mix it with milk, egg, honey, vanilla extract, and olive oil.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter will be slightly lumpy.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil or butter.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown, another 2 minutes.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, yogurt, or maple syrup.
Notes
- Substitute whole wheat flour with spelt or oat flour for variation.
- Add a handful of nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for extra flavor.
- For dairy-free, use almond or oat milk and coconut oil.
