Preparation Time

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes

Yield

Makes 8 small pancakes
Serves 2 to 3 people

Ingredients

Basic Banana Flour Free Pancakes

2 ripe bananas
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Pinch of salt
1 tablespoon butter or oil for cooking

Optional Add-Ins

2 tablespoons oats (if desired)
Blueberries
Chopped nuts
Chocolate chips
Shredded coconut

Equipment Needed

Mixing bowl
Fork or potato masher
Whisk
Non-stick skillet or frying pan
Spatula
Measuring spoons

Instructions

Step 1: Mash the Bananas

Place ripe bananas in a mixing bowl. Mash thoroughly with a fork until smooth with very few lumps.

Step 2: Make the Batter

Add eggs, baking powder, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk until fully combined and smooth. The batter will be thinner than regular pancake batter.

If using optional oats, stir them in now for a thicker texture.

Step 3: Heat the Pan

Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add a little butter or oil and let it warm.

Step 4: Cook the Pancakes

Pour small portions of batter into the pan, about 2 tablespoons each. Keep pancakes small because flour-free pancakes are softer and easier to flip in smaller sizes.

Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles appear and edges begin to set.

Step 5: Flip Carefully

Use a thin spatula to gently flip each pancake. Cook the second side for 1 to 2 minutes until golden and cooked through.

Step 6: Serve Warm

Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining batter.

Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
