Imperial
Metric
Ingredients
- 1 banana
- 4 eggs (ideally free-range)
- 4 tbs almond flour (ground almonds)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2-4 tbs butter
Method
- Place all ingredients except the butter in a blender and blitz until really well combined.
- Heat a skillet over a medium heat. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the pan and then pour some pancake mixture into the pan. You might like to make one big pancake or a few smaller pancakes.
- Cook until small bubbles appear on the surface of the pancake. Flip and then cook the second side until golden brown.
- Remove from the pan and set aside on a warm plate or keep in a lightly warmed oven until all pancakes are cooked. Repeat the process, melting new butter and cooking more of the pancake batter until all of the batter has been used.
- Serve warm with any toppings of your choice.
Note
- If you can't tolerate almonds but can tolerate another nut flour, feel free to substitute it with that. If using coconut flour, you will need to add some extra moisture as coconut flour is more absorbent. You can add some extra water to the mixture.

I have a sensitivity to almond flour , can I blend hazelnuts and use that instead ? ( I don’t like the texture of coconut) thanks
Yes of course! That will make them really yummy.
Could you put this in a waffle iron to make waffles?
Hi Kay
I haven’t tried that myself, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. Please let me know how you go!

I tried these and they turned out super well.
I decided to modify them a bit by adding a sprinkle of the spices used in the banana Chai muffin recipe, along with a little but of vanilla and a sprinkle of stevia.
I served them with a tiny bit of honey and 2tbs of homemade coconut whipped cream (coconut cream, vanilla and a sprinkle of stevia) and they were super delicious!!!
I have seen many a recipes that use almond flour. I have an allergy to all types of nuts. What other type of flour can I use?
Hi Donna
You can use coconut flour, however you will need to modify the quantities of flour to moisture, as coconut is much more absorbant than almond meal.

Would these be acceptable for phase 1 restricted if you subbed the banana for maybe canned pumpkin and the butter for ghee and/or coconut oil? I don’t see in the dietary guidelines if baking soda or baking powder are “ok” at any point in the diet as a whole. Can you advise?
Thanks!
I haven’t tried these pancakes with pumpkin purée so let me know how they turn out if you do! Baking powder and soda can be tolerated by some, not by others. It’s really a case by case scenario. Go for a brand that doesn’t contain fillers and is gluten-free. Given it’s such a small amount that you use, it’s generally ok.
