Author Notes

Who doesn't love a stack of pancakes? These healthy, totally gluten-free and vegan ones really hit the spot. Instead of just throwing some sliced bananas on top of these flapjacks, we incorporated banana right into the batter making them both tender and incredibly flavorful. —Weird & Ravenous

What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 1 banana, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup almond milk
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour
  • 1/4 cup almond flour (sometimes labeled ‘almond meal’)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 splash maple syrup for serving
Directions
  1. Combine the banana and the almond milk in a blender and puree until smooth. Pour the mixture into a bowl and stir in the flours, baking powder and salt.
  2. Heat up the coconut oil in a nonstick skillet set over medium heat. Working in batches if necessary, spoon in the batter (we like small ‘silver dollar pancakes,’ which are each about 2 tablespoons worth of batter). Cook the pancakes until nicely browned, about 2 minutes on each side. Transfer the pancakes to warm plates and serve with plenty of maple syrup.

These didn't work for me at all, I really wanted them to as batter looks great. They have stuck to the pan I even added more flour. I used Rob Mills gf and the almond meal. Could you suggest why they stuck so badly.

Kids loved this. I had to add more flour as it was VERY runny. Maybe depending on size of the banana? I used spelt flour, not gluten free, and it worked perfect. Good healthy pancakes, but don't tell the kids!

i added 1 egg to the mixture- makes the texture and taste even better. A favorite recipe for my whole family, even though only me and my daughter need to eat gluten-free

What is the caloric content of your recipes? What if you use regular flour

Really good - would have been better with the maple syrup as suggested - we had just run out so they'll be better next time. And really fast to make. Thank you for sharing!
