CHOCOLATE CHIP-BUCKWHEAT-BANANA PANCAKES
When it comes to breakfast, there are two kinds of moms: those who put chocolate chips in their kids' pancakes and those who don't. I'm a blueberries kind of mom. My sister is a chocolate chips kind of mom. Her chocolate chip pancakes have us whole heart and soul. My kids don't have any shortage of sweets; between parties and holidays and my baking addiction, they're far from deprived. But sometimes I want to be a chocolate chips at breakfast kind of mom. For those days, I have these pancakes. It would be unfair to call these pancakes either indulgent or healthy--they are a little bit of both. Most of all, these pancakes are a feeling my kids have when I've made them. They're about me being that kind of mom, if only once in a while.

Steps:
- Smash the banana with a fork into a smooth pulp (don't be tempted to add the other wet ingredients before this is done). Add the vanilla and milk and mash together. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buckwheat flour, oats, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Add the wet to the dry ingredients and stir gently, being careful not to overmix; you want to keep these pancakes light and airy. Too much stirring will make them gummy and dense.
- Heat a cast-iron griddle or skillet over medium heat until evenly warm. Add a bit of butter to coat the surface. When the butter sizzles, drop a scant 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) of batter onto the skillet in batches, leaving 2 inches (5 centimeters) between the pancakes. (Don't make your pancakes big; they are tender because there's no egg to bind the batter.) Cook until just starting to bubble around the edges. Dot the pancakes with chocolate chips, then flip (they should release easily from the griddle).
- Cook on the second side until just done, usually a minute or two (if the pancake stays on the heat too long, the chocolate will scorch), turning the heat to low if needed. Repeat until all the batter is used. Serve warm with butter and your favorite toppings.
