Banana Bread Pancakes (gluten free & paleo)

These gluten free paleo pancakes are beyond healthy and taste like a mix between pumpkin pie and banana bread. Prepare to be dazzled.

Level: Easy

Taste: Pastry party in my mouth

Ingredients: 

• 2 ripe bananas (med to long) 
• 1 1/2 cups almond flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 4 egg whites
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice 
• OR 1/2 tsp nutmeg & 1 tsp cinnamon 
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

1) Mash the bananas, egg whites, and vanilla extract in a bowl until all (or most) of the banana lumps are gone. 

2) Mix in the rest of the ingredients. 

3) Put a bit of oil on the pan at medium heat. Pour the batter (in whatever shape your heart desires) into the pan and let cook until you see the edges brown. Flip the pancake and let cook for a few more minutes. *The pancakes may burn, but they won't taste burnt; I think this is just a result of the almond flour. Serve with honey, powdered sugar, fruits, etc...

Bon appetit! 

Peanut Butter Banana Pancakes (Healthy)

Be fooled. This is healthy. I promise. It even...tastes healthy...in a good way! :)

Feeds 3 people.

Level: Easy - Requires a lot of random healthy ingredients (ugh).
Taste: Great!

Ingredients:

• 3-4 Tbsp peanut butter 
• 3 Tbsp rolled oats 
• 3 Tbsp pure maple syrup
• 1/2 cup whole wheat flour 
• 1/4 cup buckwheat flour ( I used Soy Flour...you shouldn't)
• 1 cup soy milk, vanilla 
• 1 tsp flax seeds 
• 2 tsp baking powder 
• 1/2 tsp salt 
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon 
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 
• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar 
• 2 large sliced bananas

1) Combine all of the dry ingredients in a bowl. 

2) In a separate bowl, mix all of the wet ingredients: soy milk, vanilla & syrup. Save the apple cider vinegar until the end. 

3) Slowly mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until it's (almost) lump free. Then add the apple cider vinegar (I have no idea why. It's what the recipe called for...so I assume it's important?).

4) Heat a bit of oil on the pan at medium-ish heat. Pour the batter onto the pan and add banana slices when the cakes start to bubble through. Flip the pancake and let cook for another few minutes. 

5) Serve with syrup, bananas or whatever else your heart desires.
