These grain free banana pancakes are so easy to make, and only have 3 ingredients. You can add more if you like, but they get by just fine with the 3! You can make them nut free, by replacing the peanut butter with a flour of your choice, or a Protien powder. Obviously the flour you use will depend on whether they remain grain free or not!
Nut free
Replace the nut butter with a flour of your choice:
Wheat flour, almond flour, spelt, gluten free flour, buckwheat, coconut flour, oat flour and tapioca would all work. Or use a protien powder of your choice (we use this one).
Nut Free and Grain Free
Use either coconut flour, almond meal or tapioca. Make sure you add the baking powder (or 1/3 tsp baking soda + 1 tsp vinegar if your store brought baking powder isn’t grain free) when you use these flours as it helps to add lift with the addition of the flours and keep the pancakes fluffy!
My kids love these grain free banana pancakes for afternoon tea, or a quick, easy breakfast. Sometimes I pour the mix into my muffin tray and bake them … I guess that would make them ‘Puffins’? ‘Mancakes’? ‘Muffcakes’? Haha – you decide, just know that whatever you call them, you need to be comfortable with the level of awkwardness that results if your child might name them to their neighbour, or the supermarket checkout operator … In any case if you’d like to bake them, pour into muffin tray and bake at 180℃ for about 10 minutes or until they are cooked in the centre. (They will puff right up in the middle, then ‘deflate’ when taken out of the oven).
Options:
So you can also add the following to the pancakes which would then not make them ‘3 ingredient pancakes’ but would still make them super quick, easy and versatile!
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 Tablespoon protien powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder (I highly recommend adding this, it helps to keep them light and fluffy)
- A handful of frozen berries
I have been known to include ALL of the above at once!
You can also cook these in the waffle iron – they come out delish and are also great for lunchboxes!
If you make these don’t forget to let me know, leave a comment, and share them by tagging Chef Ashton on Facebook and Instagram.
