Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of sea salt
- Coconut oil, for cooking
Instructions
- Mix the batter: In a medium bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Whisk in the eggs until fully combined.
- Add dry ingredients: Stir in almond flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt until a thick batter forms.
- Heat the skillet: Warm a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a bit of coconut oil to coat.
- Cook the pancakes: Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of batter per pancake into the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes on the first side, until bubbles form and edges begin to set. Flip gently and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat: Continue with remaining batter, adding more oil as needed between batches.
- Serve: Stack pancakes and top with fresh berries, banana slices, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
- Enjoy warm and fluffy!
Storage and Reheating Instructions
Store cooled pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in a toaster or skillet until warmed and lightly crisped.
Substitutions and Variations
- Nut-free? Swap almond flour for sunflower seed flour (note: it may turn slightly green when cooked due to natural reactions, but it’s safe to eat!).
- Add-ins: Mix in blueberries, chopped nuts, or paleo-friendly chocolate chips for extra flavor.
- Make it spicy: Add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger for a warm twist.
- Egg-free? Try a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flax + 3 tablespoons water per egg), though texture will vary slightly.
These pancakes are a sweet, nourishing way to kick off your morning—gluten-free, dairy-free, and full of real food goodness.
