Ingredients

Scale

1 ripe banana, mashed
1 cup milk
1 egg
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup sugar (or more, to taste)
3 Tablespoons oil
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 – 1/2 cup dark cocoa powder (I used 1/4 cup, use more for a darker chocolate pancake)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 – 1/3 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips (we used 1/4 cup, but I felt like it wasn’t quite enough)

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, mash the banana, then mix in the milk, egg, vanilla, sugar and oil. Sprinkle the dry ingredients on top, then stir them in until your batter is well mixed and not lumpy. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Heat a frying pan or pancake pan over medium heat and cook up your pancakes, flipping them when they are set on the bottom and lightly browned.

Notes

These pancakes are wonderful served with berries or banana slices, chocolate syrup and whipped (light) cream.
