Cinnamon Banana Pancakes:
Recipe by For the Love of Cooking.net
Adapted from Cooking Light August 2009
1 cup of whole wheat flour (she used 1/2 wwf & 1/2 APF)
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp salt
3/4 cup vanilla fat free yogurt
1 tbsp butter, melted (she used 2)
2 tsp cinnamon (she used 1)
1/8 tsp fresh nutmeg, grated
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 large banana, smashed
Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl, stirring well to combine. Combine yogurt butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, eggs and mashed banana in a small bowl, mix thoroughly. Add the flour mixture to the yogurt mixture, stirring until smooth.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto a hot nonstick griddle or skillet. Cook 2 minutes or until the tops are covered with bubbles and edges look cooked. Carefully turn pancakes over; cook 2 more minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned. Top with freshly sliced banana and maple syrup. Enjoy.
