Ingredients
  

For the Pancakes:
  • 1 cup wholemeal self-raising flour or plain/whole wheat all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup white self-raising flour or plain/all-purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons sweetener or sugar of choice
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder (1 tablespoon if using plain or all-purpose flours)
  • 2 large ripe bananas mashed
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons light butter melted or oil of choice
  • 1 3/4 cups low-fat/skim milk or unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Non-stick skillet or griddle
  • Spatula
  • Masher

Method
 

Method:
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the wholemeal self-raising flour, white self-raising flour, sweetener, and baking powder. Whisk together until well blended.
  2. In another bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the vanilla extract, eggs, melted butter (or oil), and milk. Whisk together until everything is fully incorporated.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently fold the batter until just combined. Avoid over-mixing; a few lumps are perfectly fine. Finally, fold in the chocolate chips.
  4. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. You can lightly grease it with a little oil or butter, if necessary.
  5. Once the skillet is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
  6. Stack the pancakes on a plate and serve warm. Top with extra banana slices, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a sprinkle of additional chocolate chips for a delightful breakfast experience.

Notes

  • Ensure your bananas are very ripe for the best flavor and sweetness.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of sweetener based on your taste preference.
  • If you prefer a lighter pancake, substitute half of the whole wheat flour with all-purpose flour.
