Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup Chobani yogurt
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth and creamy using a fork or potato masher.
- Add Chobani yogurt, milk, egg, and honey to the mashed banana. Whisk together until all wet ingredients are well combined and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure no lumps remain.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the pancakes tough.
- Gently fold in the chopped walnuts, reserving a small portion for topping.
- Heat a non-stick griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or cooking spray.
- Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the hot griddle, leaving space between each pancake.
- Cook pancakes for 2-3 minutes or until small bubbles form on the surface and edges start to look dry.
- Carefully flip the pancakes and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm.
- Repeat the cooking process with remaining batter, adjusting heat as needed to prevent burning.
- Serve pancakes warm, garnished with additional chopped walnuts, a drizzle of honey, or a slice of fresh banana.
Tips
- Choose the Right Banana: Make sure your banana is perfectly ripe for the best flavor. The more spots it has, the sweeter your pancakes will be!
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix gently. Overmixing can lead to tough pancakes, so stir until just combined for fluffy results.
- Heat Control: Keep your griddle or skillet at medium heat. If it's too hot, the pancakes will burn on the outside while remaining raw on the inside.
- Test for Doneness: Look for small bubbles forming on the surface and edges that appear dry before flipping. This ensures a golden brown finish.
- Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to get creative with toppings! Besides walnuts and honey, consider adding fresh berries, a dollop of yogurt, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor.
- Make Ahead: These pancakes can be made in advance and reheated in the toaster or microwave for a quick breakfast option throughout the week.
