PROS

These pancakes are a healthy alternative to traditional pancakes as they are low in fat, high in protein and full of flavor from the banana and Greek yogurt.

They are easy to make and can be customized with a variety of toppings.

CONS

Using a non-stick skillet is recommended for this recipe as the batter sticks easily to traditional pans.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Greek yogurt and banana are both high in protein, which helps to keep you feeling full throughout the day and can aid in weight loss.
Bananas are also a great source of potassium, which can help lower blood pressure and support heart health.
Using all-purpose flour instead of whole wheat flour in this recipe reduces the fiber content, but the addition of Greek yogurt makes up for it by adding protein and promoting gut health.
