Bran Banana Pancakes
Ingredients:
– 1 cup whole wheat flour
– 1/2 cup wheat bran
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1 ripe banana, mashed
– 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
– 1 egg
– 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Butter or oil for cooking
– Sliced bananas, honey, and nuts for topping (optional)
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, wheat bran, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth. Add in the milk, egg, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is well combined.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil to coat the pan.
5. Pour about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake.
6. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
7. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the skillet as needed.
8. Serve the Bran Banana Pancakes warm, topped with sliced bananas, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, and a sprinkle of nuts if desired.
