Grain-Free Banana Pancakes

 
I started making these pancakes for my daughter a few years ago.  They are super easy to make and taste delicious.


Grain-Free Banana Pancakes
These make a great breakfast or a simple snack.

Equipment: Small Skillet or Griddle, Small Plate, Medium Bowl

  • 1 organic banana
  • 1 pastured egg
  • ¼-½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon pasture butter or fat of choice (See Resources)

1.     Melt butter in small skillet over low heat.
2.    Mash banana on a small plate with a fork. 


3.    Crack egg into medium-size bowl.  Mix with a fork to combine yolk.  Add mashed banana to the egg, mix with the fork to combine. 


4.    Turn skillet up to medium heat.  Add large spoonful (about 2-3 tablespoons) of “batter” to the pan.  Fat should start to make bubbles around the sides of the pancake.    


5.     Cook pancake for about 1-2 minutes or until pancake has set.  The bottom-side should be golden brown and golden brown around the edges.  Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes. 
6.    Repeat until “batter” is gone. 
7.     Serve hot. 


Yield: Makes about 3-4 small pancakes.

Note: These are not your average wheat-based fluffy pancakes.  They make a thin pancake.

Serving Suggestions: Serve with extra pasture butter, ghee or coconut oil and pure organic maple syrup grade B, local honey or all-fruit jam.

  3. Hey Emily, We used to make these all the time before we discovered William's allergy to eggs. They're such a yummy, quick breakfast, aren't they?

  4. Hi Shanon, they are! I'm still trying to figure out if eggs are an offender for little love too, we shall see. I removed them for a long time and reintroduced them, I may take them out again to see if there is some improvement.
