White Whole Wheat Banana Pancakes

I love this healthier version of pancakes. I try to stay away from packaged foods, like pancake mixes that include ingredients I can't pronounce. These pancakes are made with white whole wheat flour and bananas. They taste too delicious to douse with heavy syrup ~ but I do squeeze a bit of 100% pure maple syrup on them ;o)

Serves 5-6

'

Ingredients

• 2 cups white whole wheat flour 
• 2 tsp baking powder 
• 1 1/2 tsp baking soda 
• 1/2 tsp salt 
• 1 Tbsp honey   
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten 
• 1 3/4 cups milk 
• 2 Tbsps butter, melted, plus extra for frying 
• 2 ripe bananas, mashed
• Topping of your choice

Recipe 

In a large bowl, blend together all dry ingredients. Add honey, eggs, milk and melted butter; mix until just combined (don't over mix). Add mashed bananas and stir until blended. 

Lightly coat a frying pan with butter and place over medium heat. Add about a 1/4 cup of batter per pancake. When bubbles surface and bottom is browned, flip and cook the other side. Before repeating with a new batch, quickly clean pan with paper towel and lightly re-coat with butter.

You can freeze leftovers. Separate pancakes with freezer (or wax) paper and place in freezer-safe container or bag.
