Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup whole milk or almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup gluten free rolled oats
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- pinch fine sea salt
For Cooking
- Butter, olive oil or coconut oil for greasing the pan
Instructions
- Mash the Banana: In a large bowl, mash the ripe banana using a wooden spoon until it becomes smooth and free of lumps.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs, milk or almond milk, and vanilla extract to the mashed banana. Whisk everything together until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, gluten free rolled oats, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and a pinch of fine sea salt until well mixed.
- Mix Batter: Pour the dry ingredients into the wet banana mixture and whisk until you achieve a smooth, thick batter.
- Preheat and Grease Pan: Lightly coat a large nonstick skillet with butter, olive oil, or coconut oil and place it over medium-low heat to warm up.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Since the batter is thick, you may need to gently spread it out using the back of the measuring cup or a spatula. Cook until bubbles form on the top and the edges look set, which may take a few minutes.
- Flip and Finish Cooking: Carefully flip the pancakes and cook the underside for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until it turns golden brown.
- Repeat: Add a little more butter or oil to the skillet and repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter until all pancakes are cooked.
- Serve: Serve the pancakes warm topped with your favorite toppings like almond butter, syrup, fresh blueberries, or chocolate chips.
Notes
- For a dairy-free option, use almond milk and coconut oil or a plant-based butter substitute.
- If batter is too thick, add a little more milk to achieve desired consistency.
- Ensure the skillet is not too hot to prevent burning the pancakes before they cook through.
- Use gluten free oats certified to ensure the recipe remains gluten free.
- These pancakes reheat well in a toaster or oven and can be frozen for later enjoyment.
