Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs at room temperature and separated
  • 1 cup whole milk Greek yogurt
  • 4 tablespoons whole milk
  • 2 ½ tablespoons sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup malted milk powder
  • 1 cup bananas, sliced about 1 large or 2 small bananas
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 4 tablespoons butter for the pan

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, Greek yogurt, whole milk, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the flour, malted milk powder, and baking powder.
  • Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form.
  • Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter until just incorporated.
  • Fold in the sliced bananas and chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
  • Preheat your skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface.
  • Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  • Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed. Serve the pancakes warm, topped with extra banana slices, chocolate chips, or a drizzle of maple syrup for added sweetness.
