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.

  2. 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?

  3. 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.

  11. these are great - thanks for the recipe. i have a very basic question about this and other recipes on the skillet. I seem to be able to make only a few at a time in the pan. Do I keep adding butter (or other fat) to the pan after each pancake gets made? This not only seems to use a lot of butter but the butter gets to brown immediately from hitting a hot pan.

    1. Yes I would recommend adding more fat if the pan needs it. Since all cookware is different, you might try turning down the heat a bit if you feel the butter is getting too brown. It shouldn't turn dark brown immediately hitting the pan, so my guess is the pan may be too hot.
