Do you favor waffles or pancakes? It’s a tough selection, particularly when crispy/fluffy do-it-yourself buttermilk waffles are up for debate. However these complete wheat banana pancakes current fairly the competitors. I make an enormous batch now and again to freeze and preserve readily available for busy weekday mornings. They’re a best choice for “breakfast for dinner” nights, too!

1. Entire Wheat Flour: Entire wheat flour gives a hearty complete grain base for these banana pancakes.
2. Salt, Cinnamon, & Vanilla Extract: Every provides taste. Cinnamon + banana + vanilla is such a scrumptious combo—you’ll like it in banana bread and these banana muffins, too.

Whisk the dry substances in 1 bowl, whisk collectively the moist substances in one other, then pour moist into dry and whisk collectively to mix.

5 Suggestions for Making the Finest Entire Wheat Banana Pancakes

1. Don’t Over-Combine: A number of lumps are OK! If you happen to combine an excessive amount of, the gluten from the flour will begin to develop, leading to dense, chewy—and even rubbery—pancakes. Combine till simply mixed.
2. Recent Is Finest: Don’t make the batter prematurely. Whereas all of us love prep-the-night-before breakfast recipe, like this breakfast casserole, the baking powder prompts as quickly because it’s moist, and its effectiveness lessens over time. Luckily, whisking up pancake batter is fast and simple.
3. Give It a Relaxation: The batter ought to sit for a couple of minutes. Whereas your pan or griddle is heating, let the batter sit, which is able to enable it to thicken up, making for thicker, fluffier pancakes.
4. Use the Correct Pan: A griddle pan is finest for cooking pancakes, however when you don’t have one, use your widest, shallowest skillet/pan. You desire a thick-bottomed pan to forestall burning.
5. Don’t Flip Too Early—Look ahead to Holes: Many pancake recipes instruct you to flip if you see bubbles forming on the floor, however you’re really searching for holes. Your complete wheat pancakes are able to flip when the bubbles are popping, forming little holes within the floor. Prepare dinner till the perimeters look set and also you discover holes within the pancake’s floor across the border, about 2 minutes.

If serving these pancakes as a part of an enormous brunch, they plate properly with contemporary fruit, eggs, quiche, frittata or breakfast egg muffins, bagel breakfast casserole, baked oatmeal, or ham and potato casserole.
