Method
 

Instructions
  1. Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients - Gather all your ingredients. Ensure your bananas are ripe for optimal sweetness and flavor. Mash them in a bowl and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients - In a large mixing bowl, combine the wholemeal self-raising flour, white self-raising flour, sweetener, and baking powder. Whisk together until well blended.
  3. Step 3: Combine the Wet Ingredients - In another bowl, mix the mashed bananas, vanilla extract, eggs, melted butter or oil, and milk. Whisk until smooth and fully incorporated.
  4. Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients - Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Step 5: Fold in the Chocolate Chips - Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Step 6: Heat the Griddle - Preheat your griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Grease it lightly with oil or cooking spray.
  7. Step 7: Cook the Pancakes - Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Step 8: Serve Warm - Serve pancakes warm, drizzled with maple syrup and topped with additional chocolate chips if desired.

Notes

  • For gluten-free pancakes, substitute wholemeal flour with a gluten-free blend.
  • Can use unsweetened almond milk for a dairy-free option.
  • Reduce sweetener for a lower-sugar version.
