Banana Chocolate Chip Pancakes {Recipe}

As a general rule when I'm baking, "healthy" goes out the window. If it's a cake or cupcakes, it's a treat, so it doesn't have to be healthy. You know when you're eating it that it's special, and not healthy.

But when it comes to making my kids' breakfast... healthy is important. Because they are my children, they're partial to all things carbohydrate in the morning: pancakes, biscuits, toast. I don't want them to "lose" that breakfast after an hour or two, though, so I try to make those things a little more healthy and filling. These pancakes fit that bill.

What You Need:
1 egg
1 overripe banana
2 Tbsp. melted butter (or oil)
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1 Tbsp. brown sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup old-fashioned oats
1/4 cup corn meal
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 cup chocolate chips

Yield: About 12 3" pancakes. (This recipe doubles well.)
