Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup overripe bananas (about 1 ½ bananas), mashed
  • 1/3 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
  • 1 ½ tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ tablespoons light brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Dash salt
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, mash the overripe bananas until smooth. Add in the buttermilk, Greek yogurt, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Whisk until everything is well combined and creamy.
  • In another bowl, mix together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
  • Pour the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients. Gently fold them together using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Preheat your non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. You can test if it’s ready by sprinkling a drop of water on the surface; if it dances and evaporates, it’s good to go!
  • Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  • Serve your pancakes warm with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, extra banana slices, or whipped cream. Enjoy the delightful flavors of banana bread in a pancake form!
