whole wheat banana pancakes

sunday pancakes.  

whole wheat banana pancakes 

with pure maple syrup

recipe via espresso and cream

1 medium ripe banana, mashed

1 large egg

1 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1 tbsp sugar

1 cup milk

1 tbsp ground flax (optional)

1 cup whole wheat pastry flour or AP flour (i used white whole wheat)

nonstick cooking spray

sliced, fresh bananas

real maple syrup

i doubt anyone needs further directions but, just in case, mix everything together (wet ingredients first with sugar and then fold in dry ingredients).  i warmed my grill pan over medium heat and then sprayed the nonstick spray right before pouring the batter onto the pan.  cook for approx. two minutes per side.

{i doubled this recipe and was able to freeze six pancakes for later}
