Chocolate Banana Pancakes

These have been our go-to summer pancakes this year - my kids love them!  I double the recipe because they make great pool-side snacks (if we have any leftover!).  I made several changes from the original recipe found here.  

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
3 Tablespoons cocoa powder
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large ripe banana (the riper, the better!)
1 cup buttermilk (make your own by combining one cup milk with 1 Tbsp lemon juice or white vinegar and let sit for 5 minutes)
1 large egg
1 Tablespoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 Tablespoon vegetable oil

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar.
In a small bowl, mash banana. Mix in buttermilk, egg, maple syrup, vanilla and vegetable oil until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix until just combined. The mixture should still be pretty lumpy.
Spray a large pan with nonstick cooking spray (or butter!) and set to medium heat. Cook pancakes until bubbles form on the surface and edges are just cooked, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional minute.
Enjoy!
