Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Banana Pancakes

It's waaay too hot to bake. But not too hot to make pancakes for Jenn and Natalie.

I like anything that involves bananas because I always have a lot of them lying around. I put just one banana in this recipe and it gave it just a hint of flavor. I think next time either 2 bananas or add in some sliced banana with the chocolate chips.

This recipe made enough pancakes for 4 or 5 people. You can definitely half it for 2 people unless you want leftovers. Again I used egg yolks in here because I alway have them lying around too.

This recipe comes from Leanne Bakes.

Ingredients:

1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
dash of salt

1 1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup soy milk
1 mashed banana
5 egg yolks or 2 whole eggs
1/4 cup canola oil

water to thin batter

a few handfuls of semi-sweet chocolate chips- added after the pancake has been poured in the pan but before you flip it.

Method:

Combine all dry ingredients in 1st paragraph in one bowl, set aside.
Combine all wet ingredients in 2nd paragraph in another bowl.
Add dry to wet and mix.
Thin batter with a little water until it is the consistency of thick soup.
Heat your pan and melt a little butter on it.
Pour out a tester pancake and when that starts to really cook begin cooking the rest.
Add chocolate chips after you pour the batter on the pan and then flip them over. You would do the same thing for any addition like berries etc. to ensure equal distribution.

Pancakes keep really well in the fridge and are good toasted in the toaster oven the next day or just eaten cold from the fridge.

Mix second paragraph of wet ingredients, set aside.
Pour dry into wet and combine.

Start with your tester pancake, when it really starts to cook you can begin cooking the rest of the pancakes.

Whole Wheat Banana Walnut Nutmeg Pancakes

I'm getting so into pancakes lately!! This morning I woke up and said to my mom "if you make the coffee I'll make the pancakes". And pancakes are pretty easy to make vegan. You just need the liquid, the flour, and the b powder. No eggs, no butter or milk necessary. They are so versatile and so much fun to cook. I'm perfecting my flipping technique. Needs work.

Ingredients:

1 cup whole wheat flour
1 tbsp white sugar
1 1/2 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp nutmeg
Dash of salt

2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 cup of water- more as needed to thin the batter to the right consistency
1/4 cup buttermilk or regular milk or soymilk

2 Bananas- cut up
Handful of walnuts- chopped up

Method:

Combine all dry goods (1st paragraph of ingredients) in one bowl, set aside.
Combine all wet ingredients (2nd paragraph) in another bowl, set aside.
Mix dry into wet, just til combined.
You may need to add more water at this point to get the right consistency. It should be like thick soup.
Add bananas and walnuts and mix til just combined.

Heat your skillet to med-high heat and melt some butter on the pan.
Drop on a small tester pancake and wait until it starts to bubble, then flip it and let it cook for another 20 seconds or so, when it comes free of the pan easily it's done.
Now you know your pan is properly heated and you can cook the rest.

Whole Wheat Sweet Potato Pancakes

I made these awesome pancakes for my family yesterday morning. They were really tasty and very very easy. I made the batter very early in the morning and just left it in the fridge until they arrived. They were so good they didn't even really need syrup. Just a little butter and yummmmm...

Original recipe from Eatliverun, it had chocolate chips which I left out but that would be awesome too. I doubled the original recipe because I was feeding several hungry people. Also next time I'm adding either vanilla or molasses. It seems to me that pancakes are just more liquidy muffins, so you could probably put all kinds of nuts or seeds or the zest of an orange, or fruit in them.

Ingredients:

3 small sweet potatoes- peeled and diced, microwaved to cook and then mashed
2 tbsp brown sugar
2 cup milk
2 eggs, slightly beaten

1 cup white flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp allspice

water if the mix is too thick

Method:

Mix all the dry in one bowl and all the wet in another bowl while you are microwaving your potatoes.
Mash your potatoes and mix them in to the wet ingredients.
Add dry to wet and mix just until combined.
At this point you would add your chocolate chips or what have you, then possibly a bit of water if the mix is too thick.
Heat up your skillet with a little oil or butter and test out the dough to see if the pan is hot enough.
When the test pancake is really getting cooked properly you are ready to start cooking the rest.
