Tips for Making These Banana Bread Pancakes Great

Just a few tips to help your easy banana pancakes turn out great.

Mashing the Banana

I find it’s easier to mash the banana on a plate instead of inside the bowl. A plate works better instead of a bowl because it’s flat. Be sure to mash the banana well unless you like chunks of banana in your pancakes.

Stirring in the Dry Ingredients

When stirring in the dry ingredients it’s easier to use a spatula and fold them in. I tried using a fork, but the spatula works better.

Only mix until the dry ingredients are moistened. Stir too long and your pancakes can get tough.

Adjusting this Banana Bread Pancakes for Allergies

Want to Eat More Whole Grains

Use whole wheat pastry flour instead of all purpose flour. Or grind your own oat flour in the food processor. Either of  these flours will work in place of all purpose flour. 

Gluten Free Banana Pancakes

Try using oat flour that is gluten -ree, almond flour, or coconut flour. in place of the all purpose flour With the almond flour or coconut flour ,you may need to mix and then let it sit for the flour to absorb the liquid. Oat flour should work just like wheat flour.

Milk Free Banana Bread Pancakes

Substitute regular cow’s milk with your favorite dairy free beverage. We like soy, but you could also use almond or coconut milk instead. Or even try arrange or grape juice.
