How to Make Whole Wheat Banana Pancakes Low Fat

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and a pinch of salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, mash 2 ripe bananas with a fork. Add 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy), 1 large egg (or flax egg for vegan option), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
  3. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Lightly grease a griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the hot surface for each pancake.
  5. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to appear on the surface.
  6. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as chopped nuts, fresh fruit, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
