This thirteen-year-old (!) recipe web site already has a number of banana pancake recipes, every great in its personal approach, and right here I’m with one other.

My entire wheat banana pancakes are so good and fluffy. My banana oat pancakes are tender and flavorful with oatmeal-like interiors. This blender oatmeal pancake recipe yields an all-around nice pancake that’s much less banana-y than the others. I even have banana waffle recipes—entire wheat and oat-based—these are nice, too.

These are the banana pancakes I’m making most frequently in the meanwhile. They’re the best pancakes by far, with solely three substances on the core: mashed banana, eggs and whole-grain flour (you’ve got a number of flour choices right here). I usually add cinnamon and hemp or flaxseeds, however even then, they require fewer substances than the remaining.

Nutritionally, these banana pancakes are about as wholesome as pancakes will be. They’re considerably decrease in carbohydrates than the opposite recipes, and barely larger in protein. That’s a win! They don’t style as very similar to a deal with as the opposite recipes, however they’re really very good.

3-Ingredient Banana Pancake Notes

I attempted two-ingredient banana pancakes a very long time in the past (banana and egg solely) and located nothing to love about them. Like, you’re higher off consuming scrambled eggs with a facet of banana. Including just a little flour makes all of the distinction with these pancakes.

Your flour choices for these pancakes embrace entire wheat flour, buckwheat flour or oat flour. They work equally nicely. Buckwheat flour has probably the most daring taste, whereas entire wheat is probably the most delicate. Oat flour is hearty and gives a light-weight oatmeal-like taste. For gluten-free pancakes, select licensed gluten-free buckwheat or oat flour.

The eggs on this recipe are completely important. Flax eggs will not work on this recipe. Don’t try or you’ll find yourself with unhappy banana-flax mush.

Use overripe bananas for this recipe. Ideally, they’ve not less than a number of brown spots. Overripe bananas are sweeter and impart extra banana taste.

You’ll have to dial down the warmth as you cook dinner these pancakes. Most pancakes include some sugar, which not solely makes the pancakes sweeter, but in addition helps forestall them from burning as they cook dinner. Since these pancakes are totally naturally sweetened with bananas (no added sweetener, not even maple syrup), they’re particularly delicate to warmth. Should you discover that your pancakes are turning too golden on the skin earlier than the insides are cooked, the skillet has turn out to be too scorching.

Nutritious Combine-In Choices & Serving Strategies

These banana pancakes are superb of their simplest type, containing solely banana, egg and flour. Should you’d like to spice up the flavour or vitamin, add any of the next:

• Floor cinnamon: I all the time add cinnamon as a result of I really like the flavour.
• Hemp seeds and/or floor flaxseed: Each supply wholesome fats and fiber.
• Unsweetened shredded coconut: You can stir a pair tablespoons into the batter. You’ll get even higher toasted taste when you sprinkle just a little coconut over the raw facet of the pancake earlier than flipping.
• Pinch of salt: I don’t assume you’ll miss it, however just a little little bit of salt ought to amp up the general taste.

For serving our daughter, I usually add a light-weight unfold of runny almond butter sprinkled with hemp seeds or a pat of butter. I like them that approach myself! For extra of a breakfast deal with, attempt a ramification of peanut or almond butter or Greek yogurt for protein, plus extra sliced banana and a drizzle of maple syrup or honey.
