Whole Wheat Banana Chocolate Chip Pancakes

I’m usually drawn to savory breakfasts, but this morning I was really craving something sweet. I found a recipe for whole-wheat pancakes, but I changed it a bit by substituting coconut oil for butter and adding cinnamon, vanilla extract, and, for extra fun, sliced banana and chocolate chips. Yum!

Instructions

  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry, and stir until combined and smooth.
  6. Ladle the batter into the hot skillet.
  7. Place a few banana slices and a sprinkle of chocolate chips onto each circle of batter.
  8. When bubbles start to form around the edges, carefully flip with a spatula and cook for another minute or so, until golden brown.
  9. Repeat with remaining batter.
  10. Serve with butter and maple syrup.
Notes
  1. *Milk combined with vinegar or lemon juice is a substitute for buttermilk. If you have actual buttermilk, you can use that instead.
