Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium ripe bananas, mashed until smooth
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup (120 grams) gluten-free all-purpose flour (preferably with xanthan gum)
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- Optional: dash of cinnamon or vanilla extract
Instructions
- Peel and mash about 2 medium ripe bananas in a mixing bowl until smooth with a few small lumps remain (2-3 minutes).
- Crack 2 large eggs into the bowl with the mashed bananas and whisk together until fully combined and slightly frothy (1-2 minutes).
- Sift 1 cup (120 grams) gluten-free all-purpose flour into the banana-egg mixture. Add 1/2 teaspoon baking powder if using. Gently fold the flour in until just combined; do not overmix.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat for 3-4 minutes. Lightly grease if desired.
- Spoon about 1/4 cup (60 ml) of batter per pancake onto the skillet, spreading slightly to form 3-4 inch circles.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
- Flip carefully and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust heat if pancakes brown too fast.
- Transfer pancakes to a plate and keep warm while cooking the rest. Repeat with remaining batter.
Notes
Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense pancakes. Use ripe bananas for best sweetness and moisture. Preheat skillet fully and cook on medium heat. Flip pancakes only once. Let batter rest 5 minutes if possible for fluffier texture. Adjust batter thickness with a teaspoon of water or dairy-free milk if needed.
