Total Time: 20 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 3/4 cups low-fat buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine, melted
• 1 egg
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 3/4-1 cup mashed ripe banana (about 2 lg.)

Recipe

• 1 combine both flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside.
• 2 in a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, butter, egg, honey, mashed banana, and vanilla.
• 3 add to dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened.
• 4 spray a large skillet or electric griddle with nonstick spray, or brush with butter.
• 5 heat over medium heat.
• 6 for each pancake, drop 1/2 cup batter onto skillet, spreading it out to make a 4-inch circle.
• 7 cook until it is lightly browned underneath and bubbles are starting to pop on top. (check often, as the sugar in these may cause them to burn more quickly; adjust the heat as needed.).
• 8 turn over and cook other side until lightly browned.
• 9 serve immediately.
• 10 leftover pancakes can be frozen and reheated in the microwave for quick weekday breakfasts.
