When your bananas start to turn black and mushy, do you dutifully throw them away? If you do, please resist the urge to throw them away! Every time I see my bananas starting to look like it's going to disintegrate, I quickly jump at the opportunity of mixing them into my baked/cooked goods and turning them into a sweet aromatic concoction. Which in this case is banana pecan pancakes! There's something about overly ripe bananas that release a very sweet and strong banana flavor. I also made a banana bread/muffin out of my disintegrated looking bunch of bananas.
Servings: 8 mini pancakes
Recipe:
1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
1/4 cup uncooked old fashioned oatmeal (optional )
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups + 2 tbsp skim milk
2 egg whites
2 mashed bananas
1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans
1. Place oatmeal in food processor and blend it till it's fine (This is more of a preference)
2. Mix all the ingredients together
3. Scoop the amount of pancake batter to your liking and over medium heat, place on a greased non-stick pan. Cook approximately 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown on both sides.
4. Top it with your favorite maple syrup
* If you have a flat griddle it will make life a lot easier! Oh, and if you have chocolate chips in hand, this may be a great addition to your "healthy" breakfast pancakes.
