Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups oat flour, certified gluten-free if needed
  • 1 tsp baking powder, gluten-free
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil, or butter for cooking
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 cup fresh berries

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, mash the 2 mashed ripe bananas until smooth.

  2. 2

    Add 2 large eggs, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup milk to the mashed bananas and whisk until well combined.

  3. 3

    In a separate bowl, mix together the 1 1/2 cups certified gluten-free if needed oat flour, 1 tsp gluten-free baking powder, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp salt.

  4. 4

    Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; some small lumps are okay.

  5. 5

    Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the oat flour to absorb some of the liquid.

  6. 6

    Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of coconut oil to coat the surface.

  7. 7

    Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.

  8. 8

    Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

  9. 9

    Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more coconut oil to the pan as needed.

  10. 10

    Serve warm with 1/4 cup maple syrup and 1 cup fresh berries if desired.

Questions

Can I make Gluten-Free Banana Pancakes dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in this entry is 1/2 cup milk. Swap the milk for unsweetened oat or soy milk. The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

How long does Gluten-Free Banana Pancakes keep?

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within three days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.

Can I halve or double Gluten-Free Banana Pancakes?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. When doubling on the stovetop, use your widest pan or work in two batches so the food sears instead of steaming.
