Banana Split Pancakes



Mmmm, as Despicable Me would say BA-NA-NA!

Banana Split Pancakes
Ingredients:
2 cups wheat pastry flour (wheat flour works as well)
2 cups buttermilk
½ cup plain yogurt
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
1 ¼ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
Toppings:
sliced bananas
sliced strawberries
healthy whip cream
walnuts
Directions:
In a medium size bowl, mix dry ingredients together. Make a well in the center of the dry mixture; set aside. In a separate bowl, mix wet ingredients together, then add to the dry mixture. Mix ingredients until blended. Pour ¼ cup batter onto heated griddle and cook over medium heat. Makes 10 pancakes.
Top with toppings!

Did you know bananas help with bone health?!
Along with lowering blood pressure, potassium prevents the weakening of the body's bones.
high sodium intake, which is typical of many American diets, can cause excessive amount of calcium to be lost through the urine, which threatens not only the strength and general health of the bones, but also negatively affects blood clotting, proper muscle contraction, and normal nervous system function. The potassium found in bananas neutralizes the high amounts of sodium in one's diet, thus allowing for healthy amounts of calcium to remain within the body.
