Weekend treat: Banana pancakes with vanilla

I don't like eating bananas by themselves so this was an attempt at a relatively healthy, potassium-rich breakfast. The banana made the mixture stick together well so they were quite symmetrical circles (something I don't usually achieve with other pancake recipes!) 9/10

1/2 c self-raising flour
1/2 c wholemeal flour
1 Tbsp white sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg
1 c skim milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
2 ripe bananas, mashed

Method:
1) Combine dry ingredients in one bowl and wet ingredients in another.
2) Stir dry ingredients into wet mixture; when mixed batter will look slightly lumpy due to banana.
3) Heat 1 Tbsp of oil in a nonstick frying pan and drop 1/4 cup sized blobs of mixture into pan. Cook until bubbles appear on top, then flip and cook for another minute or so on the other side.
4) Serve hot by themselves or with sides such as chicken bacon, fresh fruit or berry puree (we went with maple syrup).
