What’s better than homemade pancakes? Homemade pancakes that are actually HEALTHY – yet still delicious! Not only are these pancakes amazing, but they are gluten free and dairy free, too. I kid you not. Give ‘em a try and see for yourself. Your kids will absolutely love them.
Pancake Ingredients:
- 2 medium ripe bananas
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup almond butter (can substitute peanut butter)
- 1/4 cup ground flaxmeal
- ½ tsp. vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp. ground ceylon cinnamon (use 1/8 tsp. if using regular cinnamon)
- 1/8 tsp. baking powder
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil (can sub butter if you are not dairy free)
- maple syrup
Pancake Instructions:
- Crack the eggs in a large bowl and whisk them.
- In another bowl, lightly mash the bananas with a potato masher or a fork.
- Add the bananas, almond butter, flaxmeal, vanilla, cinnamon, and baking powder to the eggs and stir to combine.
- Place batter in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to harden a bit.
- Heat the coconut oil (or butter if you aren’t dairy free) in a medium to large skillet over medium to low heat.
- Pour pancake size amounts onto the skillet and cook until the bottom appears set (2 to 3 minutes). Flip with a spatula and cook another minute.
- Serve immediately, topped with maple syrup. (Makes 6 – 8 pancakes, depending on how big you make them.)
