Chocolate Chip Banana Pancake Recipe

Ingredients

• ¾ cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• ½ cup toasted wheat germ
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 cup reduced-fat buttermilk
• 1 banana, mashed
• ¼ cup semisweet or milk chocolate chips
• Vegetable oil cooking spray

Directions
Before you begin: Wash your hands.

1. Combine the flour, sugar, wheat germ, baking powder, and baking soda in a large bowl; set aside. 
2. Whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, and banana in a separate medium-sized bowl. 
3. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry and stir just until mixed. Stir in the chocolate chips. 
4. Spray a skillet with the cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat. Sprinkle a few droplets of water on the surface; the skillet is preheated when water sizzles. 
5. Spoon the batter onto the hot skillet using a ¼-cup measure. When bubbles appear in the center of the pancake, flip it to the other side. Cook both sides to a golden brown.

Cooking Notes

• Use an overripe banana for easier mashing and extra sweetness.
• If you don't have buttermilk, add 1 teaspoon unflavored vinegar to low-fat or non-fat milk. Swirl gently to mix.
