 ½ cup flour
 ½ cup whole wheat flour
 2 tsp baking powder
 ¼ tsp salt
 1 egg
 1 cup milk

1

Preheat the oven to the lowest setting.

Mash the bananas in a bowl. Whisk in the egg, milk and oil. Sprinkle salt and baking powder over the batter. Whisk it in well. Add flours all at once and fold them in with a spatula. Feel free to fold in chocolate chips if desired.

When the skillet is hot, add 3 pancakes at a time using 1/3 cup measure. Set the timer and allow the pancakes to cook for 2 - 2.5 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown and you can see some bubbles on the surface. Flip the pancakes and cook for about 1 - 1.5 minutes or so until the bottom is golden brown. The internal temperature of pancakes should be 175-200°, try not to overcook.

Transfer the pancakes to a parchment-lined baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm, if desired. Continue cooking the remaining batches. Serve warm with grilled peaches and any other toppings of choice.

If you wish to make the optional caramelized bananas, melt butter in a medium nonstick pan over medium heat. Sprinkle sugar over the melted butter and cook until it turns light golden brown, around 2 minutes. Add sliced bananas in a single layer and cook about 2 minutes per side until golden and caramelized. Serve alongside your pancakes.
