- 2 ripe bananas
- 2 cup milk of choice
- 1 ¾ cup gluten-free all-purpose flour with xanthan gum I use Bob's Red Mill 1:1 Baking Flour (blue bag) or Robinhood gluten-free flour blend
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
Place a large pan or griddle over medium heat (cast iron preferred).
In a large bowl, peel the bananas and mash them with a fork. Stir in the dairy-free milk. Add the gluten-free flour and baking powder and whisk until there are no dry lumps. Let the batter sit and hydrate for 5 minutes.
Spray the pan with coconut oil, avocado oil, or non-stick spray. Use a ladle to scoop the batter into as many pancakes as will fit in the pan. You will likely have to do this in batches to not overcrowd the pan.
Cook until the edges of the pancakes are golden and set, and there are bubbles throughout the centres. Use a spatula to carefully flip them, and cook until they are firm and golden. Cooking will take about 2-4 minutes per side.
Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate until all batches are complete. If you are cooking a double or triple batch, place pancakes on a baking sheet in the oven at 300ºF to keep warm after cooking.
Serve with fruit, maple syrup, and/or vegan whipped cream. Enjoy fresh!
