• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• 1 large banana, very ripe, mashed
• 1 cup 1% milk
• 3 large egg whites( I used Egg Beaters)
  
• 2 tsp oil
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2 tbsp chopped walnuts (optional)
• olive oil or butter flavor cooking spray

Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl. Combine milk, egg white, oil and mashed bananas in a bowl and mix until smooth. Combine wet ingredients with the dry and mix well with a spoon until there are no more dry spots. Don't over-mix.

Heat a large skillet on medium heat. Spray cooking spray to lightly coat and pour 1/4 cup of pancake batter. When the pancake starts to bubble and the edges begin to set, flip the pancakes. Repeat with the remainder of the batter.

Makes about 3 cups of batter which yields 12 pancakes.
