Servings: 8 pancakes
Calories: 391kcal
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups superfine almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 medium ripe bananas mashed (about 1 cup)
- 3 large eggs
- ¼ cup of milk or dairy-free milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour and baking powder.
- In a separate medium mixing bowl, combine the mashed banana, eggs, milk, and vanilla.
- Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir until well combined and no large lumps remain.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add oil and turn the pan to coat the bottom evenly.
- Ladle a ¼ cup of the batter into the preheated pan. If you cook multiple pancakes at a time, just be sure to leave enough room for the batter to spread. Cook for about 3 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown and the edges look cooked.
- Carefully flip the pancakes with a thin spatula, and continue to cook until the pancakes are golden brown on both sides and the center is cooked.
- Transfer pancakes to plate or serving platter and repeat with remaining batter.
- Serve warm with syrup and butter, or your favorite toppings.
Notes
- If for some reason your batter is too thick, add ¼ of water and stir it in.
- Feel free to stir in chocolate chips, blueberries, or chopped nuts before cooking.
- Soggy Banana Pancakes: If the center of your pancakes is soggy, it may be because your pan was too hot and the outside cooked faster than the inside. Reduce the heat on your pan and try again.
- Crispy Edges? If you like crispy pancake edges, be sure to fry the pancakes with a small amount of oil. If you prefer the edges of your pancakes to be soft, use a good non-stick skillet, with a very small amount of non-stick spray instead.
- Banana Pancakes Falling Apart: Because there is no gluten-containing flour in this recipe, the pancakes can be delicate. Be sure to flip them over very carefully using a thin spatula to avoid breaking them.
- The other thing that might cause your almond flour banana pancakes to fall apart is your ingredients. If you use eggs that are too small, or if you have more than 1 cup of mashed bananas, the batter might not hold together.
