Gluten Free Banana Blueberry Pancakes
Every Sunday we have pancake day. It started because my kids were diagnosed with a gluten sensitivity and so I wanted to find easy nutrient dense treats for them that we could also pack on the go. We eventually started making them together and it became a weekly ritual for us, to all get in the kitchen and make pancakes. We almost never miss a week, unless we’re traveling.
This is a tried and true gluten free recipe that I have created and tweaked over the years. My husband jokes that it’s the only thing he cooks in our house because I usually handle all our dinners, while he cleans. It’s gotten to the point where the girls assume papa makes the pancakes and every Sunday morning they run into our bedroom, jump on us and yell “Papa wake up! It’s time to make pancakes!” He loves it, I promise.
To make, break up the banana into thirds or mash roughly with a fork. Then add all the ingredients into a stand mixer and whip until blended, or alternatively use a blender.
The ingredients in this recipe are all wholesome and nutritious, and there are twists you can make for a variety of flavors. If I feel like living life on the edge, I’ll sometimes swap out one banana for half a can of pureed sweet potatoes, omit the blueberries and sprinkle in some cinnamon. Or when the kids have a say, there are chocolate chips involved.
Heat a non-stick pan on low. I prefer a carbon steel pan that I also use for eggs since it conducts heat real well and cleaning is a breeze. You’ll want to cook these on medium low so they cook all the way through without burning. Nut flours tend to be a little more sensitive to heat.
