Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, mix together butter, honey, milk, yogurt, egg, vanilla extract, and chia seeds. Set aside for approximately 5 minutes (the chia seeds will begin to start absorbing liquid during this time to make them a little softer).
- In a medium mixing bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- After 5 minutes are done, slowly add the wet ingredients to dry, folding in as you go, until just incorporated (do not over-mix, or the pancakes will be tough and dense!)
- Fold in mashed bananas.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat until hot. Melt 1/2 tablespoon butter in it, and spoon approximately 1/4 cup of batter into skillet for each pancake. Because the batter is a bit more dense than traditional pancakes, I recommend using a wooden spoon or spatula to smooth out the top to create a thinner pancake. This will ensure that it cooks the whole way through without burning the outside.
- When edges begin to look cooked, use a large spatula to flip the pancake quickly.
- After only a minute or so, the pancake should be cooked. Remove cooked pancakes to a plate and continue cooking in batches until the batter is gone, using 1/2 tablespoon more of butter to fry each batch.
- Top with maple syrup and fixings, and enjoy!
