Cinnamon Banana Paleo Pancakes are delicious and nutritious, made with minimal ingredients and free of refined sugars and grains. This easy-to-make recipe is perfect for those following a Paleo lifestyle or anyone looking for a healthy breakfast treat.
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Start by peeling the banana and placing it in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- Crack the egg into the same bowl with the banana.
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!
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.
