Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mashed ripe bananas
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine the mashed ripe bananas, milk, and large egg. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grease with butter or oil.
- Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop the batter onto the skillet or griddle.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes, until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges start to dry.
- Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until golden brown.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, until all pancakes are cooked.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Tips
- Use Ripe Bananas: The riper your bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your pancakes will be. Look for bananas with plenty of brown spots for the best results.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining your wet and dry ingredients, mix until just combined. Overmixing can lead to dense pancakes, and nobody wants that!
- Perfect Cooking Temperature: Make sure your skillet or griddle is preheated to medium heat. If it’s too hot, the pancakes will burn on the outside while remaining raw on the inside.
- Keep Them Warm: If you're making a large batch, keep the pancakes warm in a low oven (around 200°F) while you finish cooking the rest.
- Get Creative with Toppings: While these pancakes are delicious on their own, don’t hesitate to add fresh fruit, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of yogurt for an extra special touch.
