Lately, I’ve been trying to make healthier choices when it comes to eating and exercise. And while I’m not always successful, I have been starting to incorporate some good-for-you ingredient swaps in our everyday meals. One of my recent successes was inspired by the banana muffins in The Family Cooks<\/a>, a great healthy cookbook full of inspired ideas and standout recipes.<\/p>\n

To make my usual pancakes more nutritious, I made some simple changes. Whole wheat flour replaced white, and mashed banana stood in for oil. Last, but not least, raw honey took the place of sugar.<\/p>\n

With all of those changes, I didn’t think they’d be very good, but I actually liked them more than my usual recipe, which is saying a lot.<\/p>\n

Despite my glowing review,\u00a0I have a few disclaimers. First, the batter is really sticky. I used a non-stick skillet and still had some issues when trying to flip them. If I were you, I’d give your non-stick pan a little spray with cooking oil before you start to make the cooking process\u00a0a little easier. Secondly, if you happen to have a little helper working for you, mash more banana than you need. I found that mine was disappearing rapidly every time I turned around. So did my lemon.<\/p>\n

Blueberry Banana Pancakes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Makes about 7 pancakes<\/em><\/p>\n

Non-stick cooking spray<\/p>\n

1 egg<\/p>\n

1 c. buttermilk<\/p>\n

2 tbsp. ripe banana mashed<\/p>\n

1 tbsp. raw or regular honey<\/p>\n

1\/2 tsp.\u00a0vanilla extract<\/p>\n

Zest\u00a0of half a lemon<\/p>\n

3\/4 c. and 2 tbsp. whole wheat flour<\/p>\n

1\/4 tsp. cinnamon<\/p>\n

1 tsp. baking powder<\/p>\n

\u00bd tsp. baking soda<\/p>\n

\u00bc tsp. salt<\/p>\n

2 – 3 tbsp.\u00a0frozen or fresh blueberries<\/p>\n

Spray a non-stick pan and heat it over medium low.<\/p>\n

\"nelson<\/a><\/p>\n

In a large bowl, beat the egg. Next,\u00a0add the buttermilk, mashed banana, lemon zest, honey\u00a0and\u00a0vanilla extract. Whisk until combined.<\/p>\n

\"nelson<\/a><\/p>\n

To the bowl, add the remaining dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.<\/p>\n

\"nelson<\/a><\/p>\n

Add your berries, folding them gently. If your berries are frozen, don’t worry about thawing them.\u00a0Just add them as is. The batter will be lumpy. Do not over mix.<\/p>\n

\"nelson<\/a><\/p>\n

Now, pour the batter, a 1\/4 cup at a time into the hot pan. (I use a measuring cup for this.) Tiny bubbles will appear on the surface of your pancakes as they cook. When the bubbles slow down, they\u2019re ready to flip. The second side cooks faster than the first, so keep an eye on them. You\u2019ll know they\u2019re done when they start to set-up. If you’re making these for a group, slide them into a low oven (200 or so) on a baking sheet to keep them warm.<\/p>\n

\"nelson<\/a><\/p>\n

All that\u2019s left to do now is stack them, spread them with butter, drizzle the whole thing with syrup and enjoy.<\/p>\n\"Facebook\"<\/a>\"twitter\"<\/a>\"pinterest\"<\/a>\"mail\"<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
