Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- ½ cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Wet Ingredients
- 2 medium bananas (ripe or overripe)
- 5 tablespoons natural yogurt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon oil (any type)
Instructions
- Prepare dry ingredients: Combine the whole wheat flour and baking powder in a bowl using a whisk to mix evenly. Set this mixture aside for later use.
- Mash bananas: Peel and place the ripe bananas in a shallow bowl, then mash them with a fork until mostly smooth, leaving some small lumps for texture. Prepare the batter immediately to prevent browning.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a medium or large bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, natural yogurt, eggs, and oil until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly incorporated.
- Make batter: Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, whisking gently just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes tender.
- Cook: Heat a large non-stick pancake pan over low heat and spray lightly with cooking spray. Spoon batter onto the pan to make 3-4 pancakes per batch. Cook gently for about 3 minutes until bubbles appear and edges look set, then flip and cook the other side for about 2 minutes. Ensure the pancakes have enough space as they will expand during cooking.
- Serve: Remove pancakes from the pan and keep warm by covering them with a large lid, bowl, or foil while finishing the remaining batter. Reheat briefly in the microwave if needed before serving.
Notes

- Cook pancakes on low heat to avoid burning and ensure they cook evenly inside.
- Keep cooked pancakes covered to retain warmth and moisture before serving.
- These pancakes are naturally free from milk but include yogurt for moisture and flavor.
