Servings:4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup flour

- 2 bananas, one mashed and one sliced
- 2 large eggs
- ⅔ cup plain yogurt or buttermilk

- Whisk together mashed banana, eggs, yogurt or buttermilk, oil, maple syrup, and vanilla until smooth. Pour into the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
- Heat a large non-stick frying pan or skillet over medium heat. Grease with cooking spray or butter before cooking the pancakes. Place a couple of slices of banana on top of each spoonful of batter as you add them to the pan.

For a healthier option in the mornings, sub in some or all of the flour for wholemeal flour.
