How to Make Healthy Cocoa Chocolate Chip Banana Pancakes

  1. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until mostly smooth.
  2. Whisk together the mashed bananas, eggs, milk (or milk alternative), and vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  6. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat.
  7. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  8. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup (use sparingly to maintain the reduced sugar aspect), or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
