Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Start by peeling the banana and placing it in a medium-sized mixing bowl.

2. Mix the Batter:
- Using a fork or potato masher, mash the banana until smooth and free of large chunks.
- Add the egg to the mashed banana and whisk together until well combined.
- Sprinkle in the ground cinnamon and stir to incorporate throughout the batter.
3. Heat the Skillet:
- Place a non-stick skillet or griddle on the stove over medium heat.
- Allow the skillet to heat up for a minute or two.
- Lightly grease the skillet with a small amount of coconut oil, ghee, or a non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
4. Cook the Pancakes:
- Once the skillet is hot, pour small amounts of batter onto the skillet to form pancakes. Aim for 3-4 inch sized pancakes for easier flipping.
- Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes on one side, or until bubbles start to appear on the surface and the edges look set.
- Carefully flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
5. Serving:
- Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate.
- Repeat the process until all the batter is used, making sure to re-grease the skillet as needed.
- Serve the pancakes warm, optionally garnished with additional banana slices, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, or a sprinkle of cinnamon. Enjoy!

Cinnamon banana paleo pancakes FAQ:

How long should I cook the pancakes on each side?

Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes on one side, or until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Then, carefully flip them and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side until they are golden brown.

What pan size works best for cooking these pancakes?

A regular non-stick skillet or griddle works best for cooking these pancakes. Aim for a size that can accommodate 2-3 pancakes at once, ideally around 8-10 inches in diameter.

How can I store leftover pancakes?

Store any leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. You can also freeze them for longer storage; place parchment paper between pancakes to prevent sticking, then seal in a freezer-safe bag.

What are some good substitutions for ingredients in this recipe?

For the banana, you can try using applesauce as a substitute, but the flavor will change slightly. If you want a different flavor, you might experiment with adding a pinch of vanilla extract instead of cinnamon.

How do I know when the pancakes are done cooking?

Pancakes are done when they are golden brown on both sides and no longer wet in the center. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick; if it comes out clean, they are ready to serve.

Cooking Tips:

- Use a ripe banana for extra sweetness and easier mashing.

- For a fluffier texture, blend the banana and egg together in a blender.

- Heat your pan over medium-low heat to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.

- Make small pancakes for easier flipping.

- Grease the pan with a bit of coconut oil for additional flavor and to prevent sticking.

- Serve the pancakes warm with fresh fruit, nuts, or a drizzle of pure maple syrup for added yumminess.
