100% Whole Wheat Harvest Pancakes

Ingredients

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons ground ginger
• 1 dash ground nutmeg
• 2 cups 2% milk
• 2 eggs
• ½ banana , mashed
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 apple , finely chopped

Instructions

1. 1

   Combine whole wheat flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, ginger, and nutmeg in a mixing bowl, ideally one with a lip for pouring the batter later. Mix with a fork or whisk.

2. 2

   Combine milk, eggs, banana, oil, and vanilla extract in another bowl. Beat together using a hand mixer until frothy.

3. 3

   Heat a griddle or frying pan to 350 to 375 degrees F (175 to 190 degrees C), depending on altitude.

4. 4

   Pour milk mixture over the flour mixture and mix until just combined and most lumps have incorporated into the batter. Fold in apple. Let batter rest for 5 minutes.

5. 5

   Pour or ladle 1/3 cup of batter onto the griddle. Cook until edges are dry and bubbles form on the edges, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until bottom is golden brown, about 2 minutes more. Repeat with remaining batter.
