Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups whole wheat flour 150g
  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour 156g
  • ¼ cup brown sugar packed 50g
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 banana mashed medium size 7-8”
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons oil canola or vegetable
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 cups milk 473mL

Instructions

  • In a larger bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and kosher salt. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, mash the banana with a fork. Then add the egg, oil, vanilla and mix until combined, now stir in the milk.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture and whisk until the batter comes together. Let the batter sit in the bowl for 5-10 minutes.
  • While the batter is resting, heat a griddle over medium-high heat (I use 350°F on my griddle). Drop the batter with a small ladle or spoon onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the second side. Repeat until all the batter has been used.

Notes

If desired, pancakes can be cooled completely and frozen for up to 3 months.  Reheat from frozen for 5-6 minutes in a toaster oven.
