INGREDIENTS

You need only few simple basic ingredients to make this breakfast recipe. Here's and overview of what you'll need, look for exact measurements in the recipe card below.

1. Almond flour: It is essentially just ground almonds, make sure to specifically use super fine variety.
2. Banana: Use very ripe fruits for natural sweetness and more flavor.
3. Egg: Four large eggs is all you need to bind the ingredients together, add moisture and make these fluffy. It also adds protein.
4. Cinnamon - It complements the nutty flavors, but is optional.
5. Baking powder: It gives lift and helps them to puff up.

HELPFUL TIPS

• Cook over low-medium heat, so they cook evenly and have a lovely golden color without getting burnt and cooked through.
• Make sure to use almond flour and not meal for a light texture.
• Almond flour is widely available in all major US grocery stores and Amazon. I buy mine from Costco and store in the refrigerator for a longer shelf life.

HOW TO MAKE?

This is a simple and easy recipe that does not include any whipped eggs. So, all you need is a bowl and whisk.

1. Whisk dry ingredients - Add almond flour, baking powder, brown sugar, ground cinnamon and salt in a bowl and whisk to combine.
2. Whisk wet ingredients - Mash 2 bananas until smooth and mix with eggs, until completely smooth.
3. Finish batter - Mix wet ingredients into the dry and stir until combined.
4. Cook - Make flapjacks over medium to low heat, until the golden brown in color in both sides.

TOPPING IDEAS

Toppings are the best part! Here are some of our favorite ideas:

1. Maple Syrup or Pancake Syrup.
2. Softened salted butter.
3. Peanut butter or Almond butter.
4. Sliced bananas.
5. Chopped candied pecans or caramel walnuts.
6. Make into a dessert and top with whipped cream, Nutella and toasted sliced almonds.
7. Sweetened greek yogurt.

How to keep them warm?

To keep them warm, place on a wire rack set over a baking sheet in a 200 degree oven, until ready to serve.

HOW TO SERVE?

These are hearty and make a delicious breakfast just topped with maple syrup or dress them up with whipped cream.

They are also fantastic for brunch or a special breakfast. Pair them with healthy smoothies, omelette, baked oatmeal, muffins or waffles.

HOW TO STORE?

Refrigerate cooled pancakes in a sealed container for up to 3 days.

To Reheat:

1. Microwave - Place on a microwave safe plate and cook in 50% power for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
2. Air Fryer - Place on a pre heated 320 degree air fryer and cook for about 1 to 2 minutes (flipping once halfway). This is great way to make them crisp around the edges.
3. Oven - We like to use oven when reheating a larger number. Place on a single layer on a baking sheet and heat until warmed through in a pre heated 350 degree oven.

HOW TO FREEZE?

Place them on a baking sheet in a single layer and place in the freezer for 30 minutes, then place them in zip lock bags and freeze for up to 2 months. Once ready to reheat, simply microwave for 30-60 seconds or until warm.

CAN I MAKE THEM WITHOUT EGGS?

Since they do not contain gluten, it needs more eggs for binding and tends to fall apart if made without eggs. They also adds fluffy texture. So, we do not recommend making them without eggs. Try our hugely popular eggless pancake recipe for an egg-free option!

CAN I USE OLD BANANAS FOR PANCAKES?

All the natural sweetness comes from the fruit, so these are best made with old ones. Look for lots of brown spots and that feels soft to the touch. Try using them to make Spinach Smoothie, Chocolate Avocado Smoothie or Air Fryer Banana Cake.

How to ripen them faster? Place fruits in a brown paper bag and loosely fold the top along with an apple. The ethylene will build up and enhance ripening in about 24 hours.

WHY ARE MINE FALLING APART?

These are delicate since there is no gluten. The eggs play a crucial role in binding the ingredients. Make sure to not skip them and use large size eggs. Also, be sure to flip them over very carefully to avoid breaking them.
