Banana Coconut Flour Pancakes
Who doesn’t love a good pancake?
Especially a gluten and dairy free version that everyone, allergy sufferers included, can enjoy. This pancake is a great way to start a busy day as it’s packed with protein and will keep your engine running for hours.
Firstly, mash a ripe banana.
What? Doesn’t everyone have a stash of browning bananas on their counter? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
Add in coconut flour, eggs, almond milk and baking powder and give them all a good stir.
Melt some coconut oil over medium low heat in your skillet and add in 1/4 of your batter. It’s pretty thick-ish so you will have to spread it our with your fork.
It is definitely not the same texture as traditional, white flour based pancakes. Do not be afraid! The end result will not disappoint.
Cook for 3-5 minutes and flip over.
The key is low and slow.
Because the batter is fairly thick you don’t want your pancake to burn and you also don’t want a gooey mess in the middle so I like to keep the heat down and flip after about 5 minutes.
Repeat with the remaining batter.
There are endless ways to top a pancake but my favourites are berries or a good dollop of almond butter and some maple syrup.
Pair it up with nice cup of coffee and you’re good to go.
This recipe makes 4 medium pancakes and can be easily doubled.
That is…if you have enough brown bananas!

How many grams of protein and calories are in each serving?
Hi Elena! Thanks for checking out the site:) As far as counting calories and protein grams, there are many great resources on the internet, like Sparkpeople for instance, that have calorie counters where you can plug the ingredients in and it will give you all that info. My focus is on using whole, unprocessed, healthy ingredients.
Thanks for a great recipe…
