Ingredients

Makes 6 servings, 2 large pancakes per serving.

2 eggs

1/4 cup canola oil 

1-1/4 tsp vanilla extract

2 cups whole-wheat pastry flour

1/2 tbsp baking soda

1 tbsp brown sugar

About 1-3/4 cups orange juice (more if needed)

2 bananas, sliced into about 1/4-inch slices

6 oz vanilla low-fat yogurt
1 orange, peeled and sectioned

Directions

In a large bowl, beat eggs, oil, and vanilla. Combine whole wheat flour, baking soda and brown sugar in a separate bowl and stir; add to egg mixture. Gradually add orange juice to desired consistency. Drop about 1/4 cup batter onto a hot griddle and place banana slices on top. Cook bottom side to a golden brown and flip to brown top. Bananas will brown first and melt slightly. Serve with a dollop of low-fat vanilla yogurt and a few orange sections on the side.
