Easy 4 Ingredient Blender Pancakes
Fluffy gluten-free pancakes you can whip together with only four ingredients. Dairy-free and egg-free.
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Total Time: 5 minutes
- Yield: 12 - 14 small pancakes {or fewer if you make them bigger}
- Category: Pancakes
- Cuisine: Breakfast
Ingredients
- 1 large banana, peeled {fresh or frozen}
- 1 cup non dairy milk {I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk}
- ½ cup creamy almond butter {I used the Costco brand -- my favorite!}
- ½ cup buckwheat flour
Optional ingredients I always love to throw in:
- big dash of salt
- 1 tbsp maple syrup {or agave, coconut nectar, etc.}
- big dash of cinnamon
+ oil for frying if using {see notes above}
Instructions
- Place your frying pan on the stove and turn on the burner to medium high and allow the pan to heat up while preparing the batter {use a good non-stick frying pan if not using oil}.
- Place all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.
- {Place a bit of oil on the pan if using and warm it up, or skip if not using oil}. Spoon out some of the batter onto the pan to form little round cakes {if you want thinner ones, spread it out lightly with a spoon, for thicker pancakes leave the batter piled on}. Allow the pancakes to cook until the edges look golden and bubbles form and disappear creating tiny holes in the pancakes -- when you see that, it's time to flip {should be just a few minutes to get to that point}. You can test by carefully sliding the spatula under a pancake -- if it separates from the pan easily, it's ready to flip. If it seems a little sticky, cook a bit longer. When ready, flip the pancakes carefully using a spatula and fry the other side for another minute or two. Remove from the pan onto a plate and repeat until the batter is finished {oiling the pan in between batches, if using}. {I usually make 3-4 pancakes at a time as I find that's easiest to handle}.
- Serve warm with maple syrup {or sweetener of choice, jam, fresh fruit, chocolate sauce, powdered coconut milk, or any toppings of your choice}. Enjoy!
