Healthy Eggless Banana Pancake Recipe

This is a healthy eggless banana pancake recipe as we are using atta(whole wheat flour) instead of maida(plain flour).

You know compared to whole wheat flour, plain flour is more processed.

The outer layer of wheat, which contains more nutrition is taken away from it to turn it into maida/plain flour.

Using whole grains is always food for health.

This is good to make as breakfast or as a healthy snack.

It is a good way to add some fruit to your meal. Make it when you have some extra bananas.

As ripe bananas are already sweet, you may not need to add sugar.

How to make healthy banana pancake

List of ingredients and the quantity to make about 4-5 pancakes

1 cup - atta(whole wheat flour)
4 ripe bananas - mashed - may use over ripe bananas.
1 tbsp sugar(optional) - more or less according to taste
1/2 tsp cardamom powder
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 cup milk at room temperature.
1/2 plain yogurt/curd(optional) - a little sour can be used.

In a large bowl, mash the banana's well with a fork or a potato masher.

Add sugar ( if adding)and milk.

Beat the yogurt/curd and add to the above mashed bananas mix.

You may mix these ingredients in a blender. I prefer to do it

in a bowl.

Add the whole wheat flour to the above banana mixture and mix well to form a pouring consistency batter.

Add cardamom powder and mix well. Keep aside for 10 minutes.

Just before you want to start making pancakes,add baking powder to the batter.

Step by step cooking instructions to make banana pancakes

Heat a tava/frying pan. Keep the heat medium.

Add a ladleful of batter in the center of the pan and spread in a round pancake.

Let cook for a few seconds till the top looks a little dry and the bottom is golden brown. Add a few drops of melted butter or ghee or oil(whatever you are using.)

Turn using a spatula and let cook on the other side too.

Fry on both sides until golden brown.

Take off the pan. Make the other pancakes in the similar way.

Serving suggestions for banana pancakes

Serve the pancakes hot by itself or with your favorite jam or marmalade, or sweet chutney or honey or your favorite pickle.

What variations can you make with this recipe?

Add 1 tbsp rice flour to the batter.
If you like crisper pancakes, add 1/4 cup of suji/rava/cream of wheat to the batter. You may need to add more milk accordingly.
