Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup whole wheat flour, 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup rolled oats, 2 tablespoons chia seeds, 2 tablespoons sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon fine-grain salt until evenly combined.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the 1/2 cup mashed ripe banana with 2 eggs until blended.
- Whisk the 1 cup plain whole milk yogurt, 3/4 cup whole milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla into the banana–egg mixture until smooth.
- Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients. Using a spatula, stir and fold just until the batter is combined; it should be a bit lumpy with no large pockets of dry flour. Do not overwork the batter.
- Stir in the 3 tablespoons melted and cooled unsalted butter until incorporated. If you have any melted butter left over, reserve a small amount for the pan.
- Preheat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat or an electric griddle to 375°F. If any melted butter remains, lightly brush the skillet with it.
- Using a ladle or a 1/4-cup measure, pour portions of batter onto the hot skillet to form pancakes of your desired size. Leave space between pancakes.
- Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set and slightly dry, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden, about 1 minute more. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
- Repeat with the remaining batter. Keep finished pancakes warm on a baking sheet in a 175°F oven, covered with a clean kitchen towel, if desired. Serve warm.
