    First of all, these whole wheat banana chocolate chip pancakes were SO fun to make 🙂  Taylor and Luke helped me as much as they could.  They loved mashing the banana and I let them sprinkle in the cinnamon.  Once I measured out the whole wheat flour they poured that into the mix for me too.  They had a ball and then got to devour an entire pancake for themselves. 

    These are also super kid friendly because they are more like mini pancakes so you don't waste any food (what I'm all about).  The first time I made these I let Taylor help me squeeze some of the syrup too, which I regretted and didn't let them help this time because this is what Tay's hair looked like last time.

    Ingredients for these pancakes

    Taylor helped me mix the ingredients while Luke is screaming

    You can also add in some protein powder to make them protein pancakes!  I have also added some of my Vital Proteins collagen powder before for some added collagen in the past.  I also love to make any pancakes on a square shaped non-stick skillet because you can fit so many more cakes than on a circular pan. I've linked some options below.
