Banana-Chocolate Chip Pancakes


For some odd reason I wanted pancakes yesterday morning- pancakes with chocolate chips and bananas. I have NEVER had pancakes with anything in them except blueberries. So, I rummaged around on the internet, found a recipe and tweaked it a little. Voila! Banana and chocolate chip pancakes. And oh.my.word they were DELISH!

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup milk
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted
• 2 eggs
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 large banana, diced
• 1/2 cup miniature (or regular) semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
• cooking spray

Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Set bowl aside. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, sugar, and vanilla. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and stir in the wet ingredients. Do not over mix the batter. Gently fold in the banana, chocolate chips, and nuts.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and coat with cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cupfuls of batter onto the skillet, and cook until bubbles appear on the surface. Flip with a spatula, and cook until browned on the other side.

Serve with chocolate chips, bananas and powdered sugar, or simply with syrup. Enjoy!
