Banana and vanilla wholemeal pancakes

Banana and vanilla wholemeal pancakes are a delightful and nutritious twist on traditional pancakes. Perfect for breakfast or brunch, these pancakes combine the natural sweetness of bananas with the wholesome goodness of wholemeal flour. Topped with Greek yogurt and passion fruit, they offer a balanced and flavorful meal that will keep you energized throughout the day.

Ingredients:

2 bananas
240g
1 cup self-raising flour
150g
2 tbsp sugar
30g
1/2 cup milk (1% fat)
120g
1 egg
50g
1 cup greek yogurt
240g
1 tbsp butter
16g
3 passion fruits
120g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Bananas:
- Peel and mash the bananas in a large bowl until smooth.
2. Mix the Wet Ingredients:
- In the same bowl, add the milk and egg. Mix well to combine with the mashed bananas.
3. Add Dry Ingredients:
- Stir in the self-raising flour and sugar into the wet mixture. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Heat the Pan:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Add the butter to the pan and allow it to melt, spreading it around to coat the surface evenly.
5. Cook the Pancakes:
- Once the pan is hot, pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan for each pancake.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set.
- Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the pancakes from the pan and keep them warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the pan if necessary.
6. Prepare the Topping:
- Cut the passion fruits in half and scoop out the pulp.
7. Serve:
- Stack the warm pancakes on a plate.
- Top with a generous dollop of Greek yogurt and spoon the passion fruit pulp over the top.
- Optionally, you can add extra banana slices or a drizzle of honey for added sweetness.

Tips:

- Make sure the bananas are ripe for optimal sweetness and easier mashing.

- Use wholemeal self-raising flour for extra fiber and nutrients.

- Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until combined to avoid overmixing, which can make the pancakes dense.

- Cook the pancakes on medium heat to ensure they cook through without burning on the outside.

- Add a splash of vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.

Banana and vanilla wholemeal pancakes are not only delicious but also packed with nutrients. The combination of bananas, Greek yogurt, and passion fruit makes for a refreshing and satisfying breakfast option. With these tips in mind, you'll be able to whip up this healthy and tasty treat in no time. Enjoy your homemade, wholesome pancakes!
