This is a variation of the classic pancake recipe-with potassium-rich banana slices cooked right into the batter.
Ingredients
½ cup white flour
½ cup whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons cornmeal
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
1 egg
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons plain low-fat yogurt
1 cup buttermilk
Olive oil or melted butter, for skillet
2 bananas, sliced into ¼-inch slices
- Mix flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and cinnamon together in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, mix egg, honey, yogurt, and buttermilk together. Beat lightly, then pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Stir until combined. Add more buttermilk if you prefer thinner pancakes.
- Heat nonstick skillet over medium heat. Brush lightly with olive oil or butter. For each pancake, place 3 to 4 slices of banana in one spot on skillet. Pour about ¼ cup batter over the banana slices. Cook until golden underneath. Flip and finish cooking on second side. Repeat with remaining batter.
To produce lighter pancakes, separate the eggs: Stir the yolk into the wet ingredients, and beat the white until stiff. Just before cooking, gently fold whipped egg whites into batter. Serve with organic syrup.
