Banana pancakes are a great option for those looking to start their day with a delicious and nutritious breakfast.

And, for those watching their carbohydrate intake, a few simple ingredients can be used to make low-carb banana pancakes. First, replace all-purpose flour with almond flour

They should take about 15 minutes to make from start to finish. All you need is a bowl, a whisk, a pan, and a spatula. First, make the batter by whisking together the dry ingredients in a bowl.

Then add the wet ingredients and mix until everything is well combined.

No, you don’t need to use a specific type of pan. Any large skillet or griddle will work just fine. Just be sure to grease it well, so the pancakes don’t stick.

Tips and tricks for a better pancakes recipe

Bananas for the pancakes

First of all, use a non-stick pan to cook your pancakes so that you don’t need to use as much oil or butter. These pancakes are best cooked in a non-stick skillet, but you can use any type of skillet.

  • Ensure the pan is hot before cooking the pancakes.
  • Use a spoon or measuring cup to pour the batter onto the pan so that all the pancakes are the same size.
  • Use a spatula to flip the pancakes over when they are golden brown on one side.
  • If you find that your pancakes are too thick, add a little more milk to the batter. If they are too thin, add a little more flour.
  • If you are following a strict low-carb diet, you can omit the banana and replace it with 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce.
  • For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free flour instead of almond flour.
  • Add some protein to your pancakes by adding a scoop of protein powder to the batter.
  • You can also use whole wheat flour and oat flour for a healthier pancake.
  • If you are not following a low-carb diet, you can use regular flour instead of almond flour.
  • If dairy-free, you can use any type of milk in place of the milk of choice. You can also use dairy-free butter.
  • If you don’t have vanilla extract, you can omit it or substitute it with another flavoring, such as almond extract.
  • If you don’t have a large banana, you can use two smaller bananas.
  • Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  • Reheat frozen pancakes in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-10 minutes.
  • Make a double batch of pancakes and freeze half of them for a quick and easy breakfast on busy mornings.

If you don’t have baking soda, you can use one teaspoon of baking powder.

If you’re making pancakes for a large crowd, use a griddle for cooking multiple pancakes at once.

Get creative with the shape of your pancakes! First, use cookie cutters to cut them into fun shapes. Next, make mini pancakes for a fun and easy breakfast or snack. Then, simply use a mini muffin tin for cooking them in.
