These fluffy gluten-free banana pancakes use almond flour and ripe bananas to create a tender, moist, and naturally sweet breakfast option that’s quick and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups (150g) almond flour
  • 2 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) milk or milk alternative (e.g., almond milk)
  • Butter or coconut oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. Mash 2 ripe bananas in a medium bowl until mostly smooth with a few lumps remain (about 2 minutes).
  2. Add 3 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup milk or milk alternative to the bananas. Whisk until fully combined and smooth (1-2 minutes).
  3. In a separate bowl, mix 1 1/2 cups almond flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional), and a pinch of salt.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small pat of butter or coconut oil. Wait until the fat sizzles but does not smoke (1-2 minutes).
  6. Scoop 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until bubbles form and edges look set. Flip carefully and cook another 2-3 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  7. Serve pancakes warm with your favorite syrup, fresh fruit, or yogurt.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and moisture. If batter is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk to loosen. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (200°F/95°C) while finishing the batch. For vegan version, replace eggs with flax eggs and use plant-based milk.
