Fluffy, and, easy gluten-free pancakes made with only 6 ingredients! All that is in these pancakes is a banana, almond milk, G.F. oats, an egg, baking powder, and vanilla; top with maple syrup, butter, and blueberries to enjoy for a good start to your day!
Ever since my third pregnancy, for some reason, gluten hurts my belly. Therefore, I mostly bake and cook meals without it. However, this recipe is actually one that I have been making for years, just because it is so good! My family loves pancakes, and these are so good to make tons of, and then freeze lots of left-overs for quick, healthy breakfasts in the morning. It is a super quick and easy recipe.
This recipe is only for maybe two people, it makes about 9 pancakes. So, if you are making for your family, double or triple your recipe. I just wanted to keep the recipe simple to figure out.
Instructions:
- Blend the banana, almond milk, and oats in a blender. I used my Nutribullet. When it is smooth add the egg, baking powder, and vanilla and blend until smooth.
2. Pour about a 1/4 cup of batter on to the griddle to make your pancake shape. If you wish, add additional ingredients to the pancakes (chocolate chips, berries, banana, etc.) Cook for about 2 minutes, or until large bubbles appear and the perimeter is firm.
3. Flip pancakes, and cook for another couple of minutes, or until golden brown.
4. Serve hot with lots of butter, maple syrup, and blueberries!

Instructions

- Add the egg, baking powder, and vanilla to the blender, and blend until combined.
- Grease a griddle or pan with coconut oil, or olive oil (or butter if you are not doing dairy-free). Turn the heat to medium or about 300°.
- Using a 1/4 measuring cup, pour batter on the griddle, or pan, to form your pancakes.
- If you would like to add anything additional (berries, bananas, chocolate chips, etc.) now is the time to do so.
- Cook until big bubbles form on the surface and the edge appears to be firm. This should only take 2 or 3 minutes).
- Flip each pancake, and cook for another couple of minutes, until both sides are golden brown. Repeat until all of the batter is gone. Makes 9 pancakes.
- Serve hot with lots of butter, maple syrup, and blueberries!
