Whole Wheat Cinnamon Banana Pancakes

Whole Wheat Cinnamon Banana Pancakes are the ultimate comfort breakfast. The caramelized banana center surrounded by pancake batter with warm spices is a next level flavor combo. The key to getting a super delicious caramelized banana in the center of these pancakes is to place the banana on the pan first and then envelope it with the batter. The banana cooks and gets extra yummy while the rest of the batter begins to bubble. So good!

Ingredients

1 cup - whole wheat flour
1 tsp - baking powder
1 tbsp - wheat germ
½ tsp - cinnamon
1 - egg
1 cup - whole milk
1 tbsp - oil
1 - banana

Instructions

Whisk the first 4 ingredients in a large bowl.
Whisk the egg, milk and oil in a separate bowl.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until combined.
Heat a non stick pan or cast iron pan to medium heat. Pour a little oil in the pan and take a paper towel to evenly coat the pan (make sure not to overly grease the pan).
Place a banana slice in the pan over low/medium heat then pour 1-2 tablespoons of batter over the banana slice to make one pancake. Cook on one side until tiny bubbles start appearing (3-4 minutes) and it firms up. You can make several pancakes in the pan at once.
With a spatula, gently loosen the pancakes and flip them over. Continue to cook until they appear firm and cooked through.
Cool and serve.
