Paleo Banana Pancakes
“Alexa, what can I make with bananas, eggs, and baking soda?”
Have you reached the point in your COVID-19 grocery stash that you’re trying out new recipes, just to use up the random ingredients in the pantry? Us, too. So image how happy we were to find a healthy, gluten-free, Paleo recipe for pancakes that only requires three ingredients!
If you get bored with the basic recipe, spice it up with coconut flakes, nuts, seeds, vanilla, chocolate chips, a dash of sea salt, cardamom, or cinnamon. You could also skip the maple syrup and top them with ghee, berries or yogurt.
3-Ingredient Pancakes
Ingredients
1 ripe banana
1 egg
1/8 tsp baking soda
Optional ingredients (first three are recommended):
dash sea salt
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
couple dashes of cardamom, cinnamon, or ginger
dark chocolate chips
nuts, seeds, berries, and/or coconut flakes
Instructions
Mash your banana in a bowl.
Add egg, baking soda, and any other optional ingredients and mix well.
Heat a cast iron over medium-heat and coat with coconut oil.
Pour in about half your batter (or however much makes your desired size pancake).
Allow to cook for a few minutes over medium-low heat or until it is fairly solid and the bottom starts to brown nicely.
Take a spatula and try to flip it quickly and efficiently. Once it flips and starts to cook it will solidify more. You can push the edges back in if it starts “running” out.
Cook other side for a few more minutes (adding more coconut oil if you need to) and remove from heat.
Repeat steps until you have used all your batter.
Yield: 2 pancakes
