Being both gluten and dairy-free, pancakes have always been a little complicated for me. Pre-made mixes that pass my gauntlet of dietary restrictions are usually expensive and hard to come by, and I don’t always have the ingredients on hand to make them from scratch. This recipe, for me, is a game-changer. Made of just two ingredients, bananas and eggs, it’s now quick, cheap and easy to make pancakes which, for me, were usually a weekend breakfast. I like to add cinnamon for a little extra flavor, but these are still delicious without them!

Directions:

  1. Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat. 
  2. Combine the banana, eggs and cinnamon (if using) in a bowl, mashing them together until the mixture reaches a batter-like consistency.
  3. Pour some batter into the pan, making a pancake about 3 inches across. 
  4. Peek under the pancake with a spatula. When brown, flip and cook on the other side until both sides look perfectly browned.
  5. Plate with optional banana slices and honey drizzle, and enjoy!

Warning: Don’t make your pancakes too big. They don’t bind as well as regular pancakes and might end up looking like this guy down here if they’re too big to flip.
