Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 2 pieces ripe bananas Use bananas with brown spots for the best flavor.
  • 2 pieces eggs Room temperature if possible.
  • 1 cup gluten-free flour Use your favorite blend (e.g., Bob’s Red Mill).
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder Don't use baking soda.
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Splash makes a noticeable difference.

Optional Additions

  • cinnamon To taste.
  • chocolate chips Optional, add them on top once batter is poured.
  • blueberries Optional, add them on top once batter is poured.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Mash the ripe bananas in a mixing bowl until smooth, leaving some lumps.
  • Add the eggs and stir until smooth.
  • Mix in the gluten-free flour, baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract until you have a thick batter.

Cooking

  • Heat a nonstick skillet on medium-low heat.
  • Scoop some batter into the skillet. If it sizzles, you're good to go.
  • Let the pancake cook until bubbles form around the edges, about 1 minute, then flip and cook for another minute.
  • Transfer to a warm plate and repeat until all batter is cooked.
  • Top with chocolate chips or blueberries if desired.

Notes

Avoid using unripe bananas as they can affect the taste. Make sure not to over-mix the batter to prevent chewy pancakes. Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days or freeze them with layers of baking paper in between.
