🍌 Flourless Banana Pancakes Recipe

Ingredients (for 2 servings, ~6 pancakes)

  • 2 medium ripe bananas (the riper, the sweeter)

  • 2 large eggs

  • ½ teaspoon baking powder (for fluffiness, optional but recommended)

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for flavor)

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, warm spice note)

  • A tiny pinch of salt

  • Butter, coconut oil, or cooking spray (for greasing the pan)

👉 Optional add-ins: blueberries, chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or a spoonful of peanut butter in the batter.

Instructions

  1. Mash the Bananas

    • In a medium mixing bowl, peel and mash the bananas with a fork until smooth with very few lumps.

  2. Whisk the Eggs

    • Crack in the eggs and whisk until the mixture is combined and slightly frothy.

  3. Add Flavor & Leavening

    • Stir in baking powder, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until you have a smooth batter (it will be thinner than traditional pancake batter).

  4. Heat the Pan

    • Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Grease lightly with butter, coconut oil, or cooking spray.

  5. Cook the Pancakes

    • Pour about 2–3 tablespoons of batter for each pancake.

    • Cook for 1½–2 minutes until bubbles form on top and edges look set.

    • Gently flip (they’re delicate!) and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.

  6. Serve Warm

    • Stack them up and serve with sliced bananas, berries, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, or even a dollop of yogurt or nut butter.

Tips for Success

  • Use ripe bananas: Spotty bananas make the pancakes sweeter and easier to mash.

  • Low heat is key: Keeps them from burning before the inside cooks through.

  • Small pancakes cook best: They’re easier to flip without breaking.

  • If you want them more filling, stir in 2 tablespoons of rolled oats or almond flour (still gluten-free, but not technically “flourless”).

✨ Result: Soft, naturally sweet pancakes with a custard-like middle and caramelized edges. Perfect for a quick, healthy breakfast or snack!
