The other day I ended up with a banana on the edge. You know what I'm talking about. The skin is starting to develop some brown splotches and you know that a matter of hours stand between you and a wasted quarter. I knew that I had to act fast. I really love bananas. The potassium in them is great for light-headedness, which I sometimes have a problem with. Some people argue that 100 calories for a piece of fruit is excessive. Those people are stupid, bananas are great, and here's a new recipe.
Strawberry Banana Pancakes
1/2 a ripe banana
3/4 c. whole wheat pastry flour
2 tsp sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp. water
1 c. soymilk
In a mixing bowl (or I used my magic bullet), mash a banana. Add sugar and soymilk.
In a seperate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet (again, I just pulsed on high for 10 seconds), adding water until you reach a good pancake-like consistency.
Dice the strawberries into little chunks and add to the batter, mix but do not pulse if you are using a food processor.
Pour out onto a hot pan coated with nonstick spray.
Makes about 6 pancakes at 92 calories each.
