The other day, I was really wanting some banana bread, but alas, my oven was (and still is) broken. Sad day, until I had an idea!! And thus, the banana bread pancake was formed. Probably not a completely original idea, but it is an original recipe! And it turned out fantastic, so that's a definite plus!! Oh, also, it's grain free :) :)Sooooo, here's what I came up with! I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!!
BANANA BREAD PANCAKES
1/2 c Coconut flour
1/2 c Almond flour
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 Tbsp Stevia powder (you could probably use honey instead if you wanted)
2 bananas, mashed
4 eggs
1 tsp Vanilla
1 1/4 c milk (more or less depending on how thick you like your batter)
1/2 c walnuts
Preheat your pan for frying (medium high). If it's non-stick, you might not need any oil in the pan, but if you do use oil, coconut oil is really good. DO NOT use butter. It won't cook well...I know this for a FACT. :)
In a large mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients with a wire whisk (coconut flour, almond flour, soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, stevia). Then add wet ingredients and mix well with a spoon (don't use your wire whisk here. The batter just gets all clogged up in it). When the ingredients are completely incorporated, stir in walnuts.
Your pan should be ready (lower the temp to medium so the pancakes don't cook too fast or burn).
I use a 1/4 cup to measure out each pancake. I wouldn't make them much bigger because they will be difficult to flip because they don't have any grains, but feel free to make them smaller....tiny pancakes are always fun for a change! :) Anyway, once you have your pancakes in the pan, cook on the first side until the bubbles start popping on top. Then flip! Cook for another couple minutes until golden brown. Continue until all the batter is used up and Viola! You are done! Top with butter and honey or maple syrup or just eat them plain. They are good all the ways! Enjoy!!
