2 cups all-purpose flour

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

½ tsp baking soda

½ tsp cinnamon

4 bananas, overripe

2 eggs, medium

1 cup yogurt

⅓ cup butter, melted

⅓ cup brown sugar

1 tsp vanilla

⅔ cup chocolate chips, optional, add more for garnish

⅔ cup walnuts, chopped and toasted, add more for garnish

maple syrup, optional

Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Mix to combine.

Mash bananas in a medium bowl with a fork. It should measure 1½ cups.

Whisk in eggs, yogurt, butter, brown sugar, and vanilla.

Fold in the flour mixture until just combined then stir in the chocolates and walnuts.

Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium then pour heaping ⅓ cup portions of batter into pan.

Spread into 3-inches rounds and cook for about 3 minutes until bubbles form on top and edges begin to brown. Adjust heat to medium-low if browning too quickly.

Flip and continue cooking for another 3 minutes until the bottoms of pancakes are golden. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.

Serve banana bread pancakes with maple syrup, chocolate chips, and walnuts.

If you want more richness added to this recipe, you can swap out the yogurt with heavy cream. This results in a thicker, creamier batter and a more decadent banana bread.
