Ingredients

1 cup white whole wheat flour

2 tablespoons granulated Splenda

1/2 teaspoon molasses

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon cinnamon

2 tablespoons Egg Beaters

1 cup water

2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce

2 large very ripe bananas chopped finely

Nonstick cooking spray


Directions

1. In a bowl, combine the Splenda, molasses, salt, cinnamon, Egg Beaters, water, applesauce, and bananas, and whisk until uniform. 2. Add the flour and baking powder and gently fold together until just combined, but no longer or your pancakes will be tough. 3. Heat a large sauté pan or griddle, and spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray. 4. Using a ¼ cup measurement, pour batter onto the hot pan to make eight pancakes. 5. When the pancakes have lots of holes on the top and are dry and not glossy/wet anymore, peek under the pancake with a spatula and see if the bottom is deep golden brown. 6. If it is, then flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes. 7. Serve while hot with sugar-free maple syrup, butter spray, fresh banana slices, and cinnamon sprinkles if desired.

Delicious and nutritious! My husband gobbled it up and went back for seconds. Thank you!

The Splenda and egg beaters ruin the "healthy" aspect. Maybe if your goal is to lose weight, but then you should avoid pancakes. And the cooking spray is unhealthy too. Though the bananas are a great substitute for oil.
