Easy Gluten-Free Pancakes

This recipe is a wonderful option for a weekend breakfast – it’s healthy, delicious and ready in 20 minutes. These pancakes are gluten-free and are lower in carbs and sugar than pancakes made from a packaged mix. Serve with a side of eggs and fresh fruit.

Here’s what you need:

1 mashed banana
2 eggs
1/4 cup coconut sugar
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
coconut oil

Combine the mashed banana, eggs, coconut sugar, vanilla and almond extracts in a food processor. Add the flour, soda and salt. Mix well. Let the batter sit for 15 minutes.
Preheat coconut oil on your griddle over medium heat. Ladle pancake batter by 1/4 cup onto griddle. When bubbles form, flip the pancakes to cook other side.
Serve with sliced banana and pure maple syrup. Enjoy!
