Whole Wheat Banana Pancakes Recipes

WHOLE WHEAT BANANA PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar and baking powder. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk and vanilla. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until well combined. Fold in the mashed bananas.
• Heat griddle over medium heat. Spray with cooking spray. Using a ladle or 1/4-cup measuring cup, scoop batter onto heated griddle. Cook until batter starts to bubble a bit on top and the bottom is evenly browned. Flip and cook until both sides are lightly browned. Remove to a baking sheet and place baking sheet in a warm oven while you cook the rest of the batter.
• Serve warm with maple syrup, if desired. Store in an resealable baggie in the refrigerator and reheat in the toaster like you would when you toast bread.

WHOLE WHEAT BANANA PANCAKES

Steps:

• If you're using an electric skillet, preheat it to 350 degrees Fahrenheit now. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Whisk to blend.
• In a smaller bowl, combine the milk, mashed banana, egg, maple syrup, butter and vanilla. Whisk until blended. Pour the liquid mixture into the flour mixture and mix just until combined.
• If you are not using an electric skillet, heat a heavy cast iron skillet or nonstick griddle over medium-low heat. You're ready to start cooking pancakes once a drop of water sizzles on contact with the hot surface. If necessary, lightly oil the cooking surface with additional butter or coconut oil, carefully wiping up excess with a paper towel (nonstick surfaces likely won't require any oil).
• Using a 1/3-cup measuring cup, scoop the batter onto the hot skillet, leaving a couple of inches around each pancake for expansion. Cook until small bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes, 2 to 3 minutes (you'll know it's ready to flip when about 1/2-inch of the perimeter is matte instead of glossy).
• Flip the pancakes, then cook until lightly golden on both sides, 1 to 2 minutes more. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil and adjusting the heat as necessary.
• Serve immediately or keep warm in a 200 degree Fahrenheit oven. If desired, top individual servings with a spread of peanut or almond butter and/or sliced bananas, and serve with more maple syrup or honey on the side.
• Leftover pancakes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or frozen for up to 3 months. To reheat, stack leftover pancakes and wrap them in a paper towel before gently reheating in the microwave.

WHOLE WHEAT, OATMEAL, AND BANANA PANCAKES

Steps:

• Place the rolled oats into the jar of a blender and blend until the texture resembles coarse flour. Whisk together the blended oats, whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, dry milk powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl; set aside.
• Whisk together the egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla. Stir in the mashed banana. Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir just until moistened. Let the batter stand for 5 minutes.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium-high heat. Drop batter by large spoonfuls onto the griddle, and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, about 2 minutes. Flip, and cook until browned on the other side. Repeat with remaining batter.

• Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into the pancake batter. Gently fold in bananas and walnuts.
• Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, pour or scoop 1/4 cupfuls batter onto the hot surface and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

WHOLE WHEAT BANANA NUT PANCAKES

Steps:

• Combine dry ingredients and set aside.
• Combine wet ingredients and mix well. Add dry ingredients and combine throughly. Add more milk or flour as necessary to make the batter a "pancake batter-like" consistency (slightly runny). Stir in nuts.
• Cook on griddle over medium heat until golden brown on each side.
• Great topped with warm maple syrup or plain.
• Enjoy!

WHOLE WHEAT BANANA PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, sift together 1 cup whole wheat flour, ½ cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1½ teaspoons baking powder, and ½ tsp salt.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together 1½ cup 2% low fat milk, 3 tablespoons melted butter, 2 large eggs, and ½ teaspoons vanilla.
• Pour the milk/egg mixture over the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
• Ladle about ¼ to ½ cup of pancake batter onto a frying pan or griddle that has been lightly greased with butter. Place thinly sliced bananas on top of the pancake batter in the pan. Let pancake cook until the edges are dry and small air holes have popped up all over the surface, about 1½ minutes. Lift the edge of the pancake to check for golden brownness underneath. Turn the pancake over and cook for another 30 seconds until cooked through.
• Repeat until all your pancakes are made.
