How to Make Chocolate Banana Pancakes

  1. Mash 1 ripe medium banana in a medium bowl.
  2. Add 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 cup plain yogurt (or skim milk), and 2 tablespoons water to the mashed banana.
  3. Whisk until the mixture is frothy and smooth.
  4. In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder.
  5. Gradually sift the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. The batter will be thick.
  6. Lightly spray a non-stick skillet or griddle with cooking spray and heat over medium heat.
  7. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  8. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and bubbles form on the surface. Flip when bubbles begin to appear on the top.
  9. Serve immediately with powdered sugar, butter, and your favorite syrup or fruit sauce.
