These healthy, wholesome banana pancakes are a delicious twist on traditional pancakes. They’re moist and fluffy, with a subtle nutty flavor and plenty of nutritious ingredients. Made with spelt or whole wheat flour, chia seeds, and flaxseed meal, they’re a wholesome and satisfying way to start the day. I use chia seeds and flaxseed meal often and love adding them to cereal, yogurt, oatmeal, porridge, muffins, pancakes, waffles, and more. These pancakes make a delicious, guilt-free breakfast that’s packed with wholesome ingredients. You can replace the 1 1/2 cups spelt flour with 1 cup flour + 1/2 cup oat bran. The raw cane sugar can be omitted or replaced with honey or another preferred sweetener, and regular granulated or brown sugar can also be used. Dairy milk can be replaced with almond, coconut, or soy milk. Use the structured ingredient and direction fields below for cooking. The recipe source is Delights of Culinaria.
