{Gluten Free} Banana Pancakes

Have you ever woken up in the morning and had a hankering for pancakes but the effort that it takes to make pancakes outweighs your craving so you just go with toast or cereal or something else you just didn’t really want. Well I have a solution for you. Not only are these pancakes easy to make, they don’t make a huge mess (you don’t even need a bowl for mixing), and they only take about 5 minutes to make. Another plus to these little guys is that this recipe is a single serving. So no more left over soggy pancakes sitting in your fridge hoping to be reheated and eaten!

I first got the idea for these pancakes from none other than Pinterest of course! But the first recipe I
tried didn’t call for any flour. They were so hard to flip and they just didn’t have the pancake texture. So I tweaked the recipe a little and now I can make these pancakes in my sleep! Trust me sometimes I feel like that’s what I’m doing in the morning. My little man loves these pancakes! I make them at least once a week. And when my daughter decide she’s in the mood for these pancakes as well I just double the recipe.

Disclaimer: this recipe is not at all technical. I don’t use any specific measurements. Check out the step by step photos above to see how I “measure” my ingredients.

What you’ll need:
blender
non stick cooking spray
pan
spatula
Ingredients:
1/2 of a banana
2 spoonfuls of gluten free all purpose flour
1 egg
A couple shakes of cinnamon

Now for the how to:
Dump everything into your blender. Blend until combined. Spray your pan with non stick cooking spray. These take about 2-3 minutes to cook on one side before they’re ready to flip. Note… They don’t bubble like “real” pancakes. Once you flip them they only take about another minute to finish cooking.

This recipe yields 3 small pancakes. Another great thing about this recipe is that you can add some blueberries, chocolate chips, or even some cocoa powder! They are great served with syrup or jelly or even plain if you please! Hope y’all go bananas for these pancakes!
