Makes: 14 Pancakes (a substantial amount of bite-sized banana pancakes 🤤) Prep Time: 10 minutes Cooking Time: 5 minutes TOTAL: 15 minutes
INGREDIENTS:
2 tablespoons of unsalted butter 2 cups of plain white flour (or whole wheat flour for a healthier alternative) 2 teaspoons of baking powder ½ teaspoon of baking soda ½ teaspoon of salt 2 eggs ½ cup of applesauce (ideally unsweetened) 1 ¼ cups of milk 2 tablespoons of honey or pure maple syrup 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract 4-6 bananas PANA organic hazelnut chocolate spread or Nutella
STEPS:
1. Start by melting the butter and setting it aside to cool. 2. In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together. 3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, applesauce, milk, honey, and vanilla extract. Then, stir in the melted butter. 4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Avoid over-mixing. 5. Slice 4-6 bananas, depending on the desired quantity. 6. Optional: If you want to add hazelnut chocolate, use a straw to make holes in the banana slices. 7. Optional: Insert hazelnut chocolate into the banana holes. It may be tricky, so do your best. 8. Preheat a frying pan over medium heat, lightly coating it with cooking spray. 9. Add the banana slices into the pancake mixture using tongs. Cook for approximately 1-2 minutes. Using the tongs, flip the banana slices and cook the other side until it achieves a golden colour, usually about 1-2 more minutes. 10. Serve warm.
NOTE: There may be some remaining pancake mixture. This can be used for traditional pancakes or stored for future use.
