These Gluten Free Banana Pancakes may be my favorite pancakes of all time.
That’s a big statement, but I wouldn’t say it unless it were true. And let me also say that I’ve had my practice making pancakes and waffles and breads for breakfast, and so perfecting these kind of things has been my thing.
My pancake journey has gone from not-so-healthy + full-of-wheat-and-dairy pancakes, to too flat + bland pancakes, to nut + seed based pancakes, to…healthy + fluffy perfection pancakes. Which is what these are, and where I bring you guys. To get in all of this goodness.
Let’s make pancakes.
These blender 10-minute pancakes, require 8 simple ingredients that you’ll probably have on hand. You legit just throw them all in the blender, blend on high until smooth, and BAM: you’ve created a banging’ pancake batter.
It makes 6 small healthy and fluffy pancakes.
I love cooking my pancakes on a seasoned cast-iron pan lightly coated with olive oil. You can use any oil you prefer though, or any oil that you have on hand. Once the pan and the oil are hot, add about 1/4-1/3 cup of batter, cook each side until brown, and then keep them warm in the oven until it’s time to serve.
Be sure to have fresh berries and a large bottle of pure maple syrup on your table to top your pancakes with. The fruit will add a nice tarty balance to the maple syrup and you’ll love the combination of the two on the banana pancakes.
And if you like things to be a bit extra, like me, add a dollop of nut butter on top. Trust me on this one, you get next-level pancakes.
I hope you absolutely love these pancakes. They are:
- Fluffy
- Healthy
- Tender
- Naturally sweet
- Gluten-free + dairy-free
- Banana-infused
- Suppler duper easy to make
- & delish
These make the perfect special weekend breakfast. I like making a batch and enjoying them right away (between my husband and I, we easily polish the 6 small pancakes the recipe yields). And I also love making extra after we are done eating, so I can freeze and enjoy them throughout the week: easy snack and breakfast for the win.
Although optional, we totally recommend being playful with the batter and customizing it a bit. You can add mini chocolate chips, sprinkles or blueberries to the batter – these will complement the banana flavor really well. And, like I mentioned before, treat yourself by topping them with some kind of nut butter and pure maple syrup for the ultimate breakfast experience.
