How to Make Healthy Whole Wheat Banana Yogurt Pancakes

1. Preheat your griddle or large skillet to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease with oil or cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, sift together 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice.
3. In a medium bowl, mash 2 ripe bananas. Whisk in 1 cup plain yogurt, ½ cup milk, ¼ cup maple syrup (or honey/sugar to taste), 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon banana extract.
4. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Fold in ½ cup chopped banana.
6. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the preheated griddle for each pancake. The batter will be slightly thick; gently spread it if needed.
7. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to appear on the surface and the edges look set.
8. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dollop of extra yogurt. Enjoy!
