Equipment

  •  Bowls

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large eggs separated into yolks and whites
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • cups blanched or superfine almond flour
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon optional but recommended for warmth
  • 2 large ripe bananas mashed until smooth
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder optional for fluffiness

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients

  • Start by ensuring that your bananas are ripe. The riper they are, the sweeter your pancakes will be. Mash those bananas in a bowl until smooth. In another bowl, separate the egg whites and yolks. This may seem like a chore, but trust me, it’s worth it for that delightful fluffiness.

Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients

  • In your banana bowl, add the egg yolks and vanilla extract. Mix these ingredients until well combined. The moisture from the bananas and yolks serves as a fantastic base for your batter.

Step 3: Combine the Dry Ingredients

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, ground cinnamon, and baking powder. Make sure there are no lumps in the flour. A smooth batter is key to those fluffy pancakes you want.

Step 4: Merge the Mixtures

  • Gently combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture. Stir until everything is just mixed. Then, whisk the egg whites in a clean bowl until soft peaks form. This step is crucial. It introduces air into the batter, leading to pancakes that almost float off the griddle.

Step 5: Fold It All Together

  • Carefully fold the fluffy egg whites into the banana batter. Be gentle here; you want to keep some air in the mixture. This is what gives your pancakes their beautiful rise.

Step 6: Heat the Pan

  • Using a non-stick skillet or griddle, heat your pan over medium heat. You can use a small amount of coconut oil or cooking spray. Make sure the pan isn't too hot; otherwise, the pancakes will brown too quickly.

Step 7: Cook the Pancakes

  • Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until you see bubbles forming on the surface, then flip. The other side should take about 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 8: Serve and Enjoy

  • Place your pancakes on a warm plate and keep them cozy while you finish the batch. Top them with warm maple syrup, fresh fruits, or a dollop of yogurt. Your breakfast masterpiece is ready!

Notes

  • Use Ripe Bananas: The riper the banana, the sweet and moist the pancakes will turn out.
  • Don’t Overmix: Stir just until combined. Overmixing can make pancakes dense.
  • Watch Your Heat: A medium heat is ideal for cooking pancakes; too high and they’ll burn.
  • Experiment with Add-ins: Consider adding chocolate chips, nuts, or spices like nutmeg for a unique twist.
  • Use Fresh Eggs: Fresh eggs will provide better volume and fluffiness.
