Gluten Free Living – 2014

Gluten Free Banana Bread Pancakes are so spectacular and mouthwatering. I had a craving for pancakes last week and thought that a Banana Bread version might be quite tasty. I was right. These lovely pancakes are filled with walnuts, bananas, and cinnamon. The flavors that you love in Banana Bread. right? Anyway, they turned out heavenly. They were moist, fluffy and delicious. I used gluten free flour instead of regular flour. I served the pancakes with maple syrup, extra bananas and extra walnuts. I could have eaten these dreamy pancakes all day long. Seriously.

I’m always looking for ways to eat a little healthier. Not as many processed foods, less or no sugar, better quality grains and oils. All those kinds of things. Every now and then I get a sweet tooth attack. I look for ways to satisfy that craving without the excess sugar. Sometimes I make delicious salads with lots of fruit or honey in the dressing instead of sugar. Sometimes I make pancakes and sweeten them with real maple syrup not corn syrup or high fructose corn syrup. Gluten Free Banana Bread Pancakes sure tasted divine. I loved them, and yes, my sweet tooth was completely satisfied after a batch of these yummy pancakes.

When I initially published this recipe in 2014, gluten free products were still limited in availability. I used Pamela’s baking and pancake mix because it was about the only thing I could find. I DO NOT recommend it. The taste is inferior. The texture is not anywhere near as good as many brands today (2020). My personal preference is Cup4Cup for any kind of baking. But there are many that will be more satisfactory than Pamela’s. Don’t use it unless it’s a last resort.

If you’re looking for a healthier option for a Christmas or New Year’s breakfast then I recommend giving Gluten Free Banana Bread Pancakes a try. All the deliciousness you’re used to experiencing in a lovely loaf of homemade Banana Bread are incorporated. It provides a spectacular culinary delight you and your family are sure to love. You won’t feel so guilty about it either. 🙂

Gluten Free Banana Bread Pancakes are reminiscent of eating a slice of homemade Banana Bread but in pancake form!

Gluten Free Banana Bread Pancakes are a healthier breakfast option during the holidays when everyone eats so much junk!

Serve Gluten Free Banana Bread Pancakes with maple syrup, banana slices and walnut halves. I loved having the extra bananas and  walnuts for extra crunch and taste.

Here’s what I did.

I used these ingredients. As stated above, I do not recommend using Pamela’s gluten free pancake and baking mix. The taste is off and it doesn’t have a one-to-one equivalence with regular flour.

Mash bananas on a plate with a fork. Set aside.

Place gluten free flour in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add eggs, cinnamon, walnuts, bananas and vanilla.

Add milk.

Whisk ingredients until smooth.

Melt oil or butter in a skillet. Pour batter into skillet. Fry until the bottom is crispy and bubbles have formed across the entire pancake on the top–about 5 minutes. (I found that the coconut oil seemed to burn the pancakes more quickly than using butter. So if you use coconut oil, keep the temperature lower).

Flip pancakes over and cook the other side–about 1-2 minutes.

Stack pancakes on a serving plate. Drizzle with maple syrup. Garnish with fresh banana slices and walnut halves.

Each bite of these pancakes had me drooling!

The Banana Bread flavors of these pancakes is awesome.

Maple syrup drizzled over top is awesome. So much better than corn syrup.

Here’s the recipe.

• 1 ripe banana for garnish, as desired

Instructions

 

• Mash bananas on a plate with a fork.
• Set aside.
• Mix GF flour, milk, cinnamon, walnut halves, eggs, vanilla and mashed bananas in a large mixing bowl.
• Whisk until well combined.
• Heat griddle.
• Melt coconut oil.
• Pour out pancake batter to make 5 or 6-inch pancakes.

NOTE: I DO NOT recommend Pamela's baking and pancake mix for this recipe. In 2014 it was one of the few GF products available. There are many products with better taste, better consistency and that have a one-to-one equivalence (which Pamela's does not have). My personal preference is Cup4Cup.
