Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs at room temperature, separated
  • 1 cup whole milk Greek yogurt
  • 4 tablespoons whole milk
  • 2.5 tablespoons sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup malted milk powder
  • 1 cup bananas sliced (about 1 large or 2 small bananas)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 4 tablespoons butter for the pan

Instructions

  • Start by gathering all your ingredients. Make sure your eggs are at room temperature for better mixing. Separate the egg whites from the yolks carefully.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg yolks, Greek yogurt, whole milk, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  • In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, malted milk powder, and baking powder. This helps to aerate the flour and ensures even mixing.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently to combine. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This will help make your pancakes extra fluffy.
  • Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the pancake batter. This step is crucial for achieving that light and airy texture.
  • Fold in the sliced bananas and semi-sweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter to coat the surface.
  • Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
  • Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the pan as needed.

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Non-stick Skillet or Griddle
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter; this can lead to tough pancakes.
  • Make sure to beat the egg whites until they hold stiff peaks for maximum fluffiness.
  • Don’t skip preheating the skillet; a hot surface is key to a nice golden color.
  • Use ripe bananas for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
