Who Needs Flour? Grain-Free Banana Pancakes

So happy to see you, Month of May! 
We are weeks away from making strawberry flapjacks with our very own berries!


Until then, we're sticking with bananas.

If you've ever thought of cutting back on carbs, this grain-free recipe would be a delicious place to start. These naturally sweetened flapjacks are light, moist and satisfying. 
You may not even need syrup!

Who Needs Flour? Grain-Free Banana Pancakes
adapted from Homemade Mommy: Keeping Real Food in a Fake Food World
serves 4
4 eggs
2 very ripe bananas
1/2 c. almond butter (we subbed sunbutter per O's allergy)
4 T your choice milk or kefir
2 t baking powder
2 t cinnamon
pinch salt
2 t pure vanilla extract
organic coconut oil, butter or olive oil for cooking



Mush up banana and almond butter together thoroughly until smooth consistency. Add eggs and mix. Add milk and the rest of the ingredients.


Your batter should be more liquid-y than usual. If it's too thick, add more milk.
Heat greased griddle and pour in the batter. Pancakes are thin and cook quickly.


Reid, who is always skeptical of me making things too healthy, is looking forward to making this new breakfast treat again! I am scheming to use a version of this recipe but with butternut squash in the fall.


PS We've made some milestones. Over 1,000 blog views and over a dozen recipes. Which have been your favorite pancakes so far?
