Peanut Butter Banana Pancakes

Ingredients:

• 1 ripe organic banana
• 1 large organic egg
• 3/4 c organic whole wheat flour
• 1/3 c water
• 1 tsp organic peanut butter (** Do NOT use a peanut butter with Xylitol (also called birch sugar) as it can be deadly to dogs)!
• 1 tsp organic extra virgin olive oil
• Organic plain unsweetened Greek non fat yogurt (for topping if desired)
• Unsweetened organic carob chips (for topping if desired
• Organic honey (for topping if desired)
• Organic non-stick cooking spray
• Egg forms (if desired) – I used ones similar to THESE

Instructions:

1. Peel the banana and mash it in a medium bowl
2. Add the egg and mix until combined well
3. Add the whole wheat flour and peanut butter. Mix again until a thick paste is formed.
4. Slowly add the water, mixing as you go to loosen the mixture into a pancake-like batter.
5. Mix in the oil
6. Spray a cast iron skillet with organic non-stick cooking spray and heat on low to medium-low heat.
7. Spray non-stick cooking spray on insides of egg forms. Pour the batter in the egg forms.
8. Cook for 1 – 2 mins until batter starts to bubble slightly. Using a spatula, flip pancakes onto other side for 1 – 2 mins until golden on both sides.
9. If desired, drizzle with honey, top with a dollop of yogurt and sprinkle on a few carob chips.

As with any treat, feed in moderation and in small amounts.
