Perfect Apple Cinnamon Pancakes

Ingredients (Serves 1-2)

• 1/3 cup whole wheat pastry flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 medium banana, mashed
• 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (I used Chobani 0%)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/2 a small-medium sized apple, finely diced

Instructions

1. Heat a non-stick skillet to low-medium heat* and coat with cooking spray.
2. In a medium sized bowl, combine all of your dry ingredients and stir with a wire whisk to mix evenly.
3. In a separate bowl, add mashed banana, yogurt, extract, and water. Whisk well to blend the banana into the other ingredients.
4. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir just until combined.
5. Fold in diced apple.
6. Pour batter into greased skillet (mine made 3 good-sized pancakes) and cook for approximately 5-7 minutes then flip and cook for 3-4 minutes more.*
7. Top with chopped walnuts and maple syrup.

*The lower cooking temperature prevents the banana from turning the cakes into something that looks like it’s been run over with a tractor…trust me, low and slow…your patience will be rewarded! 😉
