Packed with the natural sweetness of bananas and the wholesome goodness of wholemeal flour, these pancakes are easy to make and perfect for a healthy start to your day.

Ingredients:

2 bananas
240g
1 cup self-raising flour
150g
1 cup buttermilk
230g
2 eggs
100g
1 short spray cooking spray oil
0.30g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Bananas: Peel the bananas and place them in a large mixing bowl. Mash the bananas with a fork or potato masher until smooth.
2. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the buttermilk and eggs to the mashed bananas. Whisk together until well combined and smooth.
3. Add Flour: Gradually add the self-raising flour to the banana mixture. Stir gently with a spoon or spatula until a thick, smooth batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.
4. Heat the Pan: Place a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat. Once the pan is warm, lightly spray it with cooking spray oil to prevent sticking.
5. Cook the Pancakes:
- Scoop about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the pan for each pancake.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes and the edges begin to look set.
- Carefully flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side, until golden brown and cooked through.
6. Serve: Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate. Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter, lightly spraying the pan with cooking spray oil as needed.
7. Enjoy: Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, nuts, yogurt, maple syrup, or honey.

Tips:

- Ripe bananas: Make sure your bananas are ripe as they will be easier to mash and will add more sweetness and flavor to your pancakes.

- Mixing: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix until just combined. Overmixing can result in tougher pancakes.

- Cooking temperature: Cook the pancakes on medium heat. If the heat is too high, the outside may burn while the inside remains undercooked.

- Cooking spray: Using a short spray of cooking spray oil will help in preventing the pancakes from sticking to the pan without adding excess oil.

- Consistency: If the batter seems too thick, you can add a little more buttermilk to reach the desired consistency.

Enjoy your warm, fluffy wholemeal banana pancakes with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruits, or a dollop of yogurt. These pancakes not only taste great but also provide a nourishing meal to keep you energized throughout the morning.
