Banana Buckwheat Pancakes Recipes

CHOCOLATE CHIP-BUCKWHEAT-BANANA PANCAKES

Steps:

• Smash the banana with a fork into a smooth pulp (don't be tempted to add the other wet ingredients before this is done). Add the vanilla and milk and mash together. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buckwheat flour, oats, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Add the wet to the dry ingredients and stir gently, being careful not to overmix; you want to keep these pancakes light and airy. Too much stirring will make them gummy and dense.
• Heat a cast-iron griddle or skillet over medium heat until evenly warm. Add a bit of butter to coat the surface. When the butter sizzles, drop a scant 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) of batter onto the skillet in batches, leaving 2 inches (5 centimeters) between the pancakes. (Don't make your pancakes big; they are tender because there's no egg to bind the batter.) Cook until just starting to bubble around the edges. Dot the pancakes with chocolate chips, then flip (they should release easily from the griddle).
• Cook on the second side until just done, usually a minute or two (if the pancake stays on the heat too long, the chocolate will scorch), turning the heat to low if needed. Repeat until all the batter is used. Serve warm with butter and your favorite toppings.

BANANA BUCKWHEAT PANCAKES

Steps:

• In medium bowl, stir Bisquick mix, flour, brown sugar, milk, mashed bananas and eggs with fork or whisk until blended.
• Heat griddle or skillet over medium heat (350°F). Grease griddle with vegetable oil if necessary or spray with cooking spray before heating. For each pancake, pour 1/4 cup batter onto hot griddle. Cook until bubbles form on top and edges are dry. Turn; cook other side until golden brown.
• Top pancakes with sliced bananas, blueberries and granola. Serve with syrup.
