Ingredients

For the Pancakes:

  • 1 cup white whole wheat flour A nutritious alternative to all-purpose flour.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder This helps the pancakes rise and become fluffy.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt Enhances the overall flavor of the pancakes.
  • 1 tablespoon allulose (optional) A low-calorie sweetener for those who prefer extra sweetness.
  • 2 medium bananas mashed, adds natural sweetness and moisture.
  • 1/2 cup egg whites (approximately 4 egg whites) Keeps the calories down while boosting protein content.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Infuses a delightful flavor into the batter.
  • 1/2 cup milk (unsweetened almond milk) A low-calorie alternative to regular milk.

Instructions

Instructions:

  • Step 1: Prepare the Batter - In a mixing bowl, combine the white whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, and allulose (if using). Whisk together until well mixed.
  • Step 2: Add Wet Ingredients - In another bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the egg whites, vanilla extract, and almond milk. Whisk until everything is well combined.
  • Step 3: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients - Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently fold them together until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; a few lumps are okay.
  • Step 4: Heat the Skillet - Preheat your non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. You can lightly grease it with a little cooking spray if desired.
  • Step 5: Cook the Pancakes - Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  • Step 6: Serve and Enjoy - Stack your pancakes on a plate and serve warm. Top with fresh fruit, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of yogurt for added flavor.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and flavor.
