After some very sleepy days, I've been waking up to Jack Johnson on my iPod. One day this week, the song I woke up to was "Banana Pancakes" and I swore the house smelled like syrup when I woke up. So, all week long, banana chocolate chip pancakes were on my brain. (And if you haven't heard the song, it's a great rainy day/call-in-sick song :-)) Hence, tonight, on my first day off from school, pancakes were on the list. I went straight to Allrecipes, and this is what I found. Hope you like it! I included some of the tweaks listed by reviewers as well.
Banana Chocolate Chip Pancakes
1 c. flour
1 T. sugar
2 t. baking powder
1/4 t. salt
1 egg, beaten
1 c. milk
1/2 t. vanilla
2 T. apple sauce (or oil)
2 ripe bananas, mashed
1/4 c. chocolate chips (optional)
1. Mix dry and wet ingredients in 2 separate bowls. Combine the two mixtures. Batter will be lumpy.
2. In lightly oiled skillet, drop batter by 1/4 cup full into pan over medium-low heat. Cook on both sides until golden brown. Cooking slowly ensures the bottom doesn't get too dark, while still getting the inside done.
