The new year is here… along with resolutions to be a healthier new me in 2013! While I am not swearing off goodies (I believe in moderation in all things), I am sugared out after the holidays. Aren’t you? So we’ve been eating pretty clean around our house of late. But if there is one thing I will not do, it is give up flavor to be “healthy.” Obviously I love eating and value good food, or I wouldn’t have a cooking blog, right? And while we all genuinely like eating whole grains, you will still never get cardboard and bricks I mean terrible tasting food in the name of healthiness from me. So be assured, these healthy whole wheat banana bread pancakes are great!
These pancakes are not only a treat for your taste buds but also a nutritious way to start your morning. Packed with the goodness of whole wheat and the sweetness of ripe bananas, they are sure to become a family favorite. The whole wheat flour makes the pancakes heartier, and I do think you could easily use all white flour for a fluffier result. But my whole family has been gobbling up the whole wheat kind with lots of “yums” and requests for more, so I am sold. I’m excited about trying out some more healthy recipes, so stay posted for more!
Now after all this talk about these healthy whole wheat banana bread pancakes, are you in the mood for Banana Bread? Try one of these delicious recipes:
