Almond Flour Banana Pancakes

Moist and Fluffy Almond flour and banana pancakes are super easy to make with just 4 ingredients. They’re great for gluten-free and low carb diets and come together in minutes!
Sunday mornings call for pancakes and if you’re on a low-carb, paleo, or gluten-free diet, then I’ve got you covered. These almond flour banana pancakes are a dream come true. They’re soft, moist, and fluffy. They come together in just a few minutes and melt in your mouth. My husband and daughters prefer them over “regular” pancakes and they’re all I make now!
I like to add chocolate chips for the kiddos but berries or any other add-ins are delicious too. If you’re bodybuilding or want to go the extra step, I suggest adding a tablespoon of almond butter to the batter. The almond butter makes them super moist and adds protein and flavor!
To Make gluten-free Almond Flour Pancakes, you will need:
- 2 extra ripe banana
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- optional add-ins: 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, chocolate chips, or berries.
To Make the Batter and Cook:
Mash the banana in a medium bowl, add the eggs and vanilla. Stir in the almond flour and mix until the battery is fully combined.
At this point, feel free to add some chocolate chips or your favorite add-ins(no more than 1/4 cup).
Cook pancakes on a greased pan or skillet, making sure to keep the size of the pancakes small so they don’t fall apart when flipping.
The result is soft and fluffy pancakes that are out of this world! They will keep you full for 3-4 hours and make a perfectly healthy breakfast!
Serve with butter, honey, or maple syrup and enjoy! 🙂
How to Store, Freeze, and Re-heat
To Refrigerate: The pancakes will last up to 2 days in the fridge covered in an airtight container.
To Freeze: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place pancakes on the baking sheet in a single layer. Freeze for 2 hours or until solid then remove from the freezer and transfer into freezer-safe zip-seal bags (can stack).
To Reheat: simply microwave for 60 seconds or until warmed through.
