FLOURLESS FLUFFY BANANA PANCAKES

This recipe is a marvelous twist on traditional pancakes. They are flourless (hence gluten-free), dairy free and low calorie. These banana pancakes are so quick and easy to make, you can literally enjoy these banana pancakes in a snap.

Only three ingredients are required for this recipe: bananas, eggs and baking powder. The baking powder gives them a fluffier texture. The pancakes have a soft custard-like center that melts in your mouth, along with crispy golden brown edges.

The recipe below is for one serving but this recipe can be double or tripled successfully; just use the ratio of 2 eggs: 1½ bananas. For four people, use 8 eggs and 6 bananas. Remember to use ripe bananas – those bananas that have brown spots on them already. It doesn’t matter is the flesh is a little bruised.

It is easier to flip smaller pancakes than bigger pancakes as the bigger pancakes have a tendency to break apart when flipped. Pile the pancakes on a plate and serve with maple syrup or honey. Other toppings suggestions are: blueberries, strawberries, yogurt, sugar and lemon juice or even crispy bacon.

INGREDIENTS (FOR ONE SERVING):

• 1½ bananas – ripe to overripe (7 oz.)
