Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 2 tbsp coconut sugar, or sweetener of choice
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup milk, cow's milk
- 1/3 cup sunflower oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg, yolk and white separated
- 1 banana, ripe, mashed
Equipment
- Electric whisk or stand mixer
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix the dry ingredients and set aside
- In an electric mixer, whisk the egg white, until it's a stiff consistency. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- In the mixer add milk, vanilla, oil and egg yolk and whisk on medium speed.
- Combine the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and whisk until well combined.
- Add mashed banana and egg white to the mixture and using a spatula, fold in gently. Take your time as you want to ensure everything is mixed well. This is what makes these pancakes so fluffy.
Notes
You want to avoid over-mixing the batter. Take care when you add your dry ingredients to the wet mix. The less you mix, the more tender and light the texture of the pancake will be.
2. Make sure to use overly ripe bananas. This will add sweetness and flavour. Plus, add to the soft texture.
3. Don't skip whisking the egg white until stiff. Folding this gently into the batter makes ALL the difference.
4. We don't oil our pan. Just make sure your pan is heated before you pour the batter. This is important in getting that beautiful golden exterior.
4. The pancakes should be eaten immediately. After a little while, they begin to lose their fluffiness and may get soggy.
