Whole Wheat Banana Pancakes


Bananas.  Oh bananas.  These are always plentiful in my house but sometimes, they get too ripe too fast for us, so I use them in other ways and this recipe is one way!  This recipe is from 100 days of real food, with some alterations for dairy free!

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups whole-wheat flour (I use King Arthur’s organic white whole-wheat flour)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 ¾ cups almond milk (or any other milk alternative, for those not avoiding dairy use regular milk!)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (we use Earth's Best Soy Free lactose free butter), melted
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 100% pure maple syrup for serving

Steps:

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix together honey, eggs, milk, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
  3. Make a well (hole) in the center of the flour mixture and pour the liquid mixture into the center; mix to combine but do not over mix!
  4. Gently fold the mashed bananas into the batter with a spatula.
  5. Heat a griddle or sauté pan over medium-high heat (if you are using a pan swirl some butter in there, if using a griddle this isn't needed).  Add pancake batter using a 1/4 or 1/3 measuring cup.
  6. When the pancakes have begun brown on the bottom and start to bubble on the top, flip them over to cook the other side.
  7. Serve with maple syrup!
Difficulty:  2 out of 5; for pancakes, this is pretty easy!

Tip:  Freeze leftover for a quick breakfast another day!

Timing:  I serve pancakes as early as about 10 months since my babes show good chewing ability, but by 12 months I think these would be great for any toddler as long as they are cut up small!

  • Yummy in the Tummy: Epicutie thoroughly enjoyed each bite
  • Somewhat yummy: Epicutie seemed to somewhat enjoy the food at first, but seemed to like it less with subsequent bites
  • Not so sure I like it...yet: Epicutie somewhat rejected the first bites, but seemed intrigued. The next exposure may be better!
  • Confused: Epicutie rejected the first bites, perhaps due to texture or strong flavor.
  • Sour Puss: Epicutie gave a sour face indicating she did not like the food. However--if at first you do not succeed, try, try again!
