Ingredients

2 ripe bananas mashed
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large egg Vegan option, use Bob's Red Mill gluten-free egg replacer
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour with xanthan gum* I like Pillsbury gluten-free flour. Not all gluten-free flours are created equal. You may experience different baking results depending on the gluten-free flour blend you choose.
1 tablespoon gluten-free baking powder
1/4 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 cup milk Dairy-free/vegan, use unsweetened almond milk.

Instructions

In a small bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.
In a large bowl, whisk the egg (or egg replacer), granulated sugar, pure vanilla extract, and vegetable oil together.
Add the gluten-free flour, gluten-free baking powder, and salt to the egg mixture and mix until just combined. Over-mixing can lead to dense pancakes, as gluten-free flours can become gummy when overworked.
Stir in milk and mix until smooth. For thinner pancakes, stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk.
Fold in the mashed bananas with a spatula until combined.
Scoop the batter into a 1/4 cup measuring cup and pour the batter onto a greased griddle or pan for each pancake. I use gluten-free coconut oil cooking spray.
Cook the pancakes until the batter starts to bubble and the pancakes start to puff. Flip/turn the pancakes and cook the pancakes until they are golden brown. I like to use an electric griddle to cook my pancakes, and I set it to 350°F (177°C).
Top with butter, syrup, or your favorite topping. Enjoy!

Notes

*The best way to measure gluten-free flour is the “spoon & level” method. Using a spoon, scoop the flour into the measuring cup. After you’ve spooned the flour into the measuring cup, use the back of a knife to level off the top of the measuring cup.
