Fluffy Cocoa Banana Yogurt Pancakes

Ingredients

  • 1½ cups190 gAll-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup25 gUnsweetened cocoa powdersifted
  • 1½ tbsp20 gGranulated sugar
  • 1¾ tsp8 gBaking powder
  • ½ tsp2 gBaking soda
  • ¼ tsp1.5 gSalt
  • 1 medium118 gBananawell mashed
  • 1 container (6 oz)170 gPlain Greek yogurt, nonfat
  • 1 cup (240 ml)240 gMilk, 2%
  • 2 large100 gEggs
  • 1 tsp4 gVanilla extract
  • 1½ tbsp20 gUnsalted buttermelted and cooled slightly
  • 1¾ tsp8 gCanola oil
  • 1½ cups sliced250 gStrawberriessliced
  • 1 cup120 gRaspberries
  • 2 tbsp40 gMaple syrup

Steps

  1. Prepare the toppings first: toss the strawberries and raspberries together in a small bowl and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt until no cocoa powder streaks remain.
  3. In a second bowl, whisk the mashed banana, Greek yogurt, milk, eggs and vanilla until smooth, then whisk in the melted butter.
  4. Pour the wet banana mixture into the cocoa-flour mixture and fold gently with a spatula just until no dry flour shows; a few lumps keep the pancakes fluffy. Let the batter rest 5 minutes while the skillet heats.
  5. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and brush it with one quarter of the canola oil.
  6. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake into the skillet and cook 2 to 3 minutes, until bubbles form on top and the edges look set, then flip and cook 1 to 2 minutes more until the centers spring back when pressed.
  7. Repeat with the remaining batter, brushing the skillet with another quarter of the canola oil before each of the next three batches, so all the oil is used; keep cooked pancakes warm on a plate under a clean towel.
  8. Divide the pancakes among 4 plates, spoon the strawberries and raspberries over them and drizzle with the maple syrup.
