  • 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup of flour- I use straight whole wheat
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup vanilla fat free yogurt
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp fresh nutmeg, grated
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2-3 tbsp pecans, crushed
  • 3 tbsp sweetened coconut flakes
  • 1 large banana, smashed

Combine the flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl, stirring well to combine. Combine yogurt butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, eggs, coconut, pecans, and mashed banana in a small bowl, mix thoroughly. Add the flour mixture to the yogurt mixture, stirring until smooth.

Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto a hot nonstick griddle or skillet. Cook 2 minutes or until the tops are covered with bubbles and edges look cooked. Carefully turn pancakes over; cook 2 more minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned. Top with freshly sliced banana, coconut, and maple syrup. Enjoy.
