Heart-Shaped Chocolate Chip Banana Pancakes
Valentine's Day is coming up and I can't think of a better way to start the morning than with these fabulous light and fluffy Chocolate Chip Banana Pancakes!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unbleached or white whole wheat flour (i did a blend of both)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 large banana (ripe, mashed well)
- 1 cup 1% milk (or almond milk)
- 3 large egg whites
- 2 tsp oil
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- cooking spray
Directions:
- Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl.
- Combine milk, egg white, oil, vanilla and mashed bananas in another medium sized bowl and mix until smooth.
- Combine wet ingredients with the dry and mix well with a wooden spoon until there are no more dry spots. Don't over-mix.
- Heat a large skillet on medium-low heat. If you are using a heart shaped pancake mold, you will want to spray it lightly with cooking spray so the batter doesn't stick to it.
- Lightly spray a skillet with cooking spray, place the mold on the hot skillet and pour 1/4 cup of pancake batter.
- Add 1 teaspoon of chocolate chips in each pancake.
- When the pancake starts to bubble and the edges begin to set, flip the pancakes. Repeat with the remainder of the batter.
- Makes about 3 cups of batter which yields 12 pancakes.
