Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, peel the banana and mash it thoroughly with a fork until smooth.
- Add the egg and egg whites to the mashed banana. Whisk together until well combined.
- Sprinkle the baking soda evenly over the banana-egg mixture.
- Add the vinegar and vanilla extract, and stir until incorporated.
- Slowly add the coconut flour into the mixture, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. The batter should be smooth and slightly thick.
- Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Once hot, lightly coat the pan with a short spray of cooking spray oil.
- Use a ladle or a 1/4 cup measuring cup to pour the batter onto the skillet, forming small pancakes (about 3-4 inches in diameter).
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
- Remove the pancakes from the skillet and transfer them to a plate.
- Continue cooking the remaining batter, reapplying a short spray of cooking spray oil between batches if needed.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruits, a drizzle of maple syrup, honey, or a sprinkle of shredded coconut.
Tips:
- Make sure the banana is ripe for maximum sweetness and easy mashing.
- Whisk the egg and egg whites thoroughly to incorporate air, which will result in fluffier pancakes.
- Sift the coconut flour to avoid any lumps and ensure even mixing.
- Allow the batter to rest for a few minutes before cooking. Coconut flour absorbs moisture and the batter will thicken.
- Use medium heat to cook the pancakes. Coconut flour tends to brown quickly, so keep an eye on them.
- Flip the pancakes gently to avoid breaking them as they can be more delicate compared to traditional pancakes.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, yogurt, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
These coconut flour banana pancakes are not only easy to make but also incredibly satisfying. Perfect for a weekend brunch or a quick weekday breakfast, they are a healthy alternative to traditional pancakes. Enjoy these fluffy and flavorful pancakes with your favorite toppings and start your day off right!
