3/4 cup skim milk or 3/4 cup 1% low-fat milk, plus
3 tablespoons skim milk or 3 tablespoons 1% low-fat milk
2 egg whites, lightly beaten or 1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup pureed overripe banana
1/2 cup all-purpose flour

raspberry jam (warmed) or caramel sauce (warmed)

1
In a small bowl whisk milk, egg whites, vanilla, and banana.
2
In large bowl, mix flours, cocoa powder, sugar, flax seed, baking soda and salt.
3
Add wet mixture to dry, and whisk just until dry ingredients are moistened, folding in chocolate chips.

FREEZING INSTRUCTIONS: If you make these to freeze them, don't make the topping. Cool the pancakes on a wire rack, and then when they are completely cool, wrap them in tinfoil (I wrap them in packs of two for 1 serving) and freeze. Microwave until warm, then toast to unfreeze them.
