Description

These gluten-free pancakes are quick, delicious, and require only three ingredients! Top with your favorite fruit and nuts for a complete breakfast.


Ingredients

  • 1 banana
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp maca powder
  • coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Place peeled banana, two eggs, and a tablespoon of maca powder in a food processor. Pulse until well incorporated and smooth. Set aside.
  2. Preheat oven to 200°F (93°C).
  3. Place a large skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add about half a teaspoon of coconut oil to skillet and swirl around until evenly distributed.
  5. Once pan is hot, pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto skillet (skillet can comfortably hold three pancakes at a time).
  6. Once burst bubbles appear on the surface of the uncooked side, about 2-3 minutes, flip to cook the underside until browned, about another two minutes.
  7. Transfer cooked pancakes onto a baking sheet, and keep in a warm oven until ready to serve.
  8. Repeat until all batter has been cooked, adding more coconut oil to the pan as needed (about 12 4” diameter pancakes).
  9. Alternatively, for two single-serving pancakes, place half of the coconut oil in a small sauté pan (8” in diameter) over medium heat.
  10. Pour half of the batter and cook until burst bubbles surface.
  11. Carefully flip to cook the underside for a minute or two.
  12. Serve immediately. Repeat with the second half of batter, or save for later use.
  13. Uncooked batter keeps for a day in a sealed refrigerated container.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use ripe, overripe bananas.
  • If you don’t have maca powder, try substituting with an equal amount of cocoa powder or cinnamon.
  • To prevent sticking, ensure your pan is hot enough before adding the batter.
