Get ready for awesomeness...

Are you ready??? OK here it is, the new recipe. A new Sunday/Saturday morning tradition... it has bananas and whole wheat flour so it must be healthy right? Well kind of anyways...its more of a once in a while food that  hits the nutritional reqs when paired with a fruit salad. You can also swap brown sugar for splenda's brown sugar and cut out the syrup completely. With everything it runs about 200cal per pancake and yes that includes the syrup! so add a fruit bowl and drink your water with it and you will have a well rounded breakfast! FEAST ON!

PS: I found this recipe on Pinterest, it's from another blog called "How Sweet It Is" She has tons of great stuff..check her out!

Whole Wheat Brown Sugar Banana Bread Pancakes

makes 12 pancakes

2 cups whole wheat pastry flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

2/3 cup milk

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

3 large ripe bananas, mashed

2 tablespoons butter, melted

In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Measure out the milk and add the vanilla extract to it. Whisk together the dry ingredients and add in milk and vanilla, stirring to combine. The mixture will still be dry. Add in mashed bananas and mix. Add in melted butter and stir until batter is somewhat smooth.

Heat a skillet or grilled on medium heat. Using a 1/3 cup measure, spoon batter into rounds and cook until bubbles form on top – about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for a minute or two more. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve hot with butter and syrup, or the vanilla maple glaze.

Note: if you don’t have/can’t find whole wheat pastry flour, use 1 cup of regular whole wheat and 1 cup of all purpose. Or 2 cups of all purpose.

Vanilla Maple Glaze

1/2 cup maple syrup

3/4 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir until smooth. Pour over pancakes.
