Description
These whole wheat banana pancakes with chocolate chips are healthy, fluffy and taste just like banana bread! These pancakes also make a great meal-prep breakfast!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ripe banana (~110g)
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup (60g) greek yogurt
- 3/4 cup (180g) 2% milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cup (162g) whole wheat flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mash the banana. Add in the maple syrup and the greek yogurt. Once combined, whisk in the milk, followed by the egg and the vanilla extract.
- Add to the bowl the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix until just combined. And finally fold in the chocolate chips. Be careful not to over mix the batter.
- Melt some butter in a large frying pan over low medium heat. Add a 1/4 cup of batter to the pan for each pancake and try not to spread the batter too much. (I can usually fit 2 in my pan). Cook for 3-4 minutes until the edges are set and you start seeing bubbles in the batter. Flip the pancakes and cook another 2 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer the pancakes to a plate.
- Grease your pan again with butter and repeat the process. You should have a total of 8 pancakes at the end!
Notes
Meal prep: if you make these pancakes ahead of time to eat during the week, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Warm them up in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds.
