Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium ripe bananas, mashed
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- ½ cup (60g) gluten-free flour blend (e.g., Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1 Baking Flour)
- Optional: pinch of baking powder
- Optional: pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mash 2 ripe bananas in a medium bowl with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth with a few small lumps (about 2 minutes).
- Add 2 large eggs to the mashed bananas and whisk gently until well combined and slightly frothy (about 1 minute).
- Add ½ cup gluten-free flour blend. If using, add a pinch of baking powder and cinnamon or vanilla extract. Stir gently with a spoon or spatula until just combined (1-2 minutes). Avoid overmixing.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Test heat by sprinkling a few drops of water; if they dance and evaporate quickly, the pan is ready.
- Lightly grease the pan with oil or butter. Pour about ¼ cup (60 ml) of batter per pancake onto the skillet.
- Cook pancakes for 2-3 minutes on the first side until bubbles form and edges look set.
- Flip carefully with a thin spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Transfer pancakes to a plate and keep warm while cooking the rest. Serve warm.
Notes
Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Use ripe bananas with brown spots but not mushy. Let batter rest 5 minutes before cooking for better texture. If batter is too thick, add a teaspoon of milk or water. Cook on medium heat and flip only when bubbles form and edges are set. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F oven if needed.
