Imperial
Metric
Ingredients
- 1 banana
- 4 eggs (ideally free-range)
- 4 tbs almond flour (ground almonds)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2-4 tbs butter (or coconut oil if dairy free)
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 (or coconut oil) 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 (or coconut oil) 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 wanted to like these but they just tasted like banana flavored eggs. Did I do something wrong?
Hi Susan
They are different to regular pancakes because we don’t use wheat flour, milk or sugar and given banana is a key ingredient, they will have a slight banana flavour. You could use a less ripe banana next time (was the one you used very ripe?), or you could use mashed pumpkin if you don’t like banana. Here is a pumpkin pancake recipe if you’d like to try it. Omit the spices if you want a plain version. I do recommend keeping in the vanilla and you could always add some freshly grated orange zest for another flavour option.
Kind regards
Rebecca
Hi there! I am intolerate to eggs… what can I use instead of those?
Hi Hanna
I have tried many times (and failed) to make an egg free SIBO pancake so unfortunately this recipe doesn’t lend itself to being egg free. Hopefully one day I will nail the recipe, and as soon as I do, I’ll share it, I promise!

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!
Rebecca
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.
Any suggestions on what to use instead of banana? Unfortunately banana is a trigger for me :(
Hi Melissa
You can also use pumpkin! Here’s my pumpkin pancake recipe.
