Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
- 1 large egg, slightly beaten
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ripe bananas mashed (about 1 cup mashed banana)
- Sliced bananas, butter, and maple syrup, for serving, if desired
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine buttermilk, egg, melted butter, honey, vanilla, and mashed bananas.
- Add the banana mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter will be lumpy.
- Heat a griddle or pan to medium low heat. Coat with cooking spray. Drop about a 1/4 cup of batter onto heated skillet. Cook until surface of pancakes have some bubbles and a few have burst, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip carefully with a spatula, and cook until browned on the underside, 1 to 2 minutes more. Continue making pancakes until the batter is gone.
- Serve pancakes with sliced bananas, butter, and maple syrup, if desired.
Notes
These pancakes freeze well! Reheat in the toaster or microwave!
