Banana Pecan Pancakes
Who says it needs to be Sunday morning for you to have your brunch fix? These banana pecan pancakes can satisfy your craving any morning with just a touch of sweetness! They have that perfect combo of banana & nut that we all know and love, but scroll down for some substitutions to fit a wide variety of dietary preferences.
Maple syrup gets all of the credit for the ultimate pancake topping, but if you’re feeling fancy try some of these instead:
Pancake topping ideas:
Greek yogurt
Flavored stevia drops (Sweetleaf makes some good ones)
Fruit (berries, sliced banana, cinnamon apples)
Jam or fruit preserves
Chocolate hummus (Check for some dessert hummus options in your local grocery store)
Tahini and other nut butters (Peanut butter, almond butter, pecan butter, etc)
Banana Pecan Pancakes (GF)
Ingredients:
1 cup Almond flour*
2 Tbsp Coconut flour
1/2 Medium banana, mashed*
3 Eggs
1 Tbsp Vegetable oil
1/4 cup Greek yogurt*
1 tsp Vanilla
1/4 tsp Almond extract (optional)
3 Tbsp Coconut sugar*
1 Tbsp Ground flaxseed
2 tsp Baking powder
2 tsp Cinnamon
Dash of salt
Handful of chopped pecans*
What to do:
Mix everything except for pecans in one bowl until no lumps remain. Fold in the nuts.
Heat a griddle or skillet on medium heat and grease with butter or oil. Drop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan at a time. Flip once small bubbles form on the top of the batter. Remove from heat when the bottom of each pancake turns a nice golden-brown color.
Serve with a sprinkle of cinnamon, sliced bananas, extra pecans and maple syrup!
*Substitutions:
Almond flour - You can use oat flour here
Banana - Applesauce or canned pumpkin / butternut squash puree would work too
Coconut sugar - I've used monkfruit sweetener or baking stevia to make this free of added sugars
Pecans - Switch up the type of nuts or add in any toppings you like
Dairy-free: Switch out the greek yogurt to a greek-style dairy-free yogurt like Kite Hill
Nut-free: Use oat flour instead of almond flour and switch out the pecans for chocolate chips
Added sugar-free: Use baking stevia or monkfruit sweetener in place of the coconut sugar, or leave out entirely
