Looking for a lighter, healthier version of pancakes? Flourless pancakes are a great choice! These pancakes are made without traditional flour, making them gluten-free and often higher in protein. The combination of eggs, banana, and a few other simple ingredients results in fluffy, delicious pancakes that are perfect for anyone following a gluten-free or low-carb diet. Plus, they’re quick to whip up, making them a perfect breakfast for busy mornings.
Ingredients:
- 2 ripe bananas (the riper, the sweeter!)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder (optional, for fluffiness)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for flavor)
- Pinch of salt
- Butter or oil, for cooking
Instructions:
- Mash the Bananas: In a mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. A few lumps are okay, but make sure most of it is pureed.
- Add the Eggs: Crack the eggs into the bowl with the mashed bananas. Whisk until the mixture is fully combined.
- Mix in Baking Powder and Salt: If you’re using baking powder, add it to the mixture along with a pinch of salt. You can also add vanilla extract for extra flavor if you like.
- Heat the Pan: Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little butter or oil to coat the surface.
- Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 2 tablespoons of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until small bubbles form on the surface. Flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Serve: Remove the pancakes from the skillet and serve immediately. Top with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, maple syrup, or a dollop of yogurt.
- These flourless pancakes are soft, slightly sweet, and packed with natural flavor. You can also experiment by adding cinnamon, nutmeg, or even a handful of chocolate chips to the batter. Enjoy these healthy pancakes as part of a delicious, nutritious breakfast!
