Whole Wheat Banana Pancakes – no sugar, healthy recipe
Easy Whole Wheat Banana Pancakes.
This Whole Wheat Banana Pancakes recipe is my go-to breakfast. I have fond, lazy, and hectic memories of it since it has helped keep me full during all of those instances. It barely takes a few minutes to whip up and it’s okay if you aren’t super accurate with the measurements. I’ve made the recipe keeping in mind that people are going to tweak it based on what’s available to them and what they prefer. This recipes make 3 big fat pancakes. You can make 9 small ones with it. If you want to make a larger batch, simply double or triple the recipe as required. I make everything in small batches because it’s easier to double a recipe than to halve it.
In a pre-covid era when I was constantly travelling for work from my hometown Cuttack to the capital Bhubaneswar. It’s hardly 22 km away but I’d wake up early by 7-7:30 am, shower, make some breakfast or half eat and half pack my breakfast then leave home by 8:30. I used to travel by the bus facility called Mo Bus; so I’d reach Bhubaneswar, my friend whom I was working with would pick me, and we’d spend the entire day overworking our brains. Most of the times I didn’t know when I’d have my lunch or the next meal so it made sense to have a good wholesome breakfast that’ll keep me full for long. This whole wheat banana pancakes recipe has never not come to my rescue. As I write this, memories of that time flood me. The project we were working on never took off, and somehow that friend and I ended up having a fallout. But it’s truly amazing how thinking of a recipe can make you nostalgic, how despite everything that’s happening around the world, how you can find comfort in a breakfast that once marked your daily stepping-out-for-work routine. I never thought I’ll be writing about it like this. Yet here I am.
