Cuisine: Paleo
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut milk
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp coconut oil (for cooking)
Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients: 2 ripe bananas, 1 cup almond flour, 1/4 cup coconut milk, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp salt, and 2 tbsp coconut oil.
- In a mixing bowl, mash the 2 ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Ensure there are no large lumps for a better pancake texture.
- Add 1 cup of almond flour to the mashed bananas. Mix well until fully combined.
- Pour in 1/4 cup of coconut milk and stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Sprinkle in 1 tsp of baking powder, 1/2 tsp of cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp of salt. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated and you have a thick batter.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 2 tbsp of coconut oil and allow it to melt and coat the pan.
- Once the oil is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. You can adjust the size based on your preference.
- Cook the pancakes for about 3-4 minutes on one side, or until bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set.
- Carefully flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown.
- Once cooked, transfer the pancakes to a plate and keep them warm while you repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter.
- Serve the pancakes warm, topped with your favorite fruits, maple syrup, or a dollop of coconut yogurt if desired.
Tips
- Choose Perfectly Ripe Bananas: The key to natural sweetness and smooth texture is using bananas that are fully ripe with brown spots. They'll mash easier and provide more natural sugar.
- Consistency is Crucial: When mixing your batter, aim for a smooth, creamy texture without lumps. This ensures even cooking and a perfect pancake every time.
- Control Your Heat: Medium heat is essential. Too high, and your pancakes will burn; too low, and they'll become soggy. Look for small bubbles forming on the surface as your signal to flip.
- Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Cook pancakes in batches, leaving enough space between them for easy flipping and even cooking.
- Let Them Rest: Allow the pancakes to cool slightly before serving to help them set and maintain their shape.
- Get Creative with Toppings: While delicious on their own, try topping with fresh berries, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a sprinkle of chopped nuts for extra flavor and nutrition.
