Health-Conscious Pancakes

 

That's right, even the pancakes can't stop thinking about how healthy they are!

I recently found myself in an international food market in Seoul and was fortunate to find whole wheat flour, raw honey, and a handful of other goodies that made me quite excited for breakfast this morning.  And after a brief Google search for a new, hearty pancake recipe, I soon found myself opening my crisp new bag of flour, whisking eggs, and devouring a delicious late-morning treat.

The recipe is written very well by another blogger out there, so please see her website for the original recipe.  However, I have also written the recipe below to reflect a few of my changes to accommodate the readily available ingredients in Seoul.

 Whole Wheat Yogurt Pancakes

• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/3 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 1 cup (or 2 containers) low-fat yogurt
• 2 tsp canola oil
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/8 tsp regular salt
• 2 small bananas
• Raw honey, optional 

Mix wet and dry ingredients separately.
Combine and stir until just combined.
Cook 1/4 cup batter servings on a medium hot griddle.
Melt a little butter on a pan and lightly sear chopped bananas until slightly brown.
Top the pancakes with the baked bananas and drizzle honey over the top.

Enjoy!
