Oh, boy, do I have a delicious pancake recipe for you guys!
Ingredients:
- 3 bananas
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 1/4 cup almond meal/flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Directions:
Mash bananas. (I like the mash-in-peel method the best. It works great with unripe bananas.)
Combine all ingredients in a food processor and blend well. (You could always mix by hand; it’ll just take some elbow grease to get the batter really smooth.)
Take note of your mess in the kitchen. I promise, it’s worth it.
Pour batter onto a pre-heated, coated-in-non-stick-cooking-spray skillet or fry pan. Cook and flip.
OMG. Pancakes!
These babies turned out so well. The texture is light, fluffy, and chewy, sort of like a traditional pancake mixed with a crepe. The flavor is slightly sweet (think banana bread) with a little bit of nuttiness. My gosh, they’re delicious. I spread almond butter on mine this morning. Mmm!
Recipe makes 8 pancakes.

Mmmm gluten free pancakes! Awesome, and they look like regular (non gf) pancakes. I need to find some almond flour so I can make them!
Loved them! Perfect Sunday breakfast… thank you!
I just pinned this! Love any recipe that uses bananas and almond meal/flour.
Those pancakes look perfect!
Made these this morning–seriously, seriously good. Thanks for the recipe!
Yay! So glad to hear that!
YUM!! I love bananas and pancakes so I bet these taste delicious. I’m excited to try your recipe!
These look awesome! I’m going to have to try them next weekend!
Thanks for that pancake recipe-I made them this morning and they were great. Plus it was the first time I bought almond butter and I love it.
Made these yesterday – they were GREAT!! I added a few Enjoy Life chocolate chips to them too. Thanks for the great – and easy – recipe!
Could I use wheat flour for these pancakes?
@Lindsey: Sure, why not? I’ve only made them once with almond flour, so let me know how they turn out if you make them!
Just made these and THEY.ARE.AWESOME! I used only 2 bananas and 2 eggs and it turned out GREAT for just me. And I used all-purpose flour. I also used mostly greek yogurt instead of PB or AB because we were out of those
Sooo I guess I didn’t really make your recipe but it was great inspiration! I love the banana taste & texture.
@Hannah: did you use all of the other ingredients with the amounts listed or did you scale back a bit? i only have 2 bananas as well, so was going to try and make it work with them.
@Laura: This is a super late reply, but I scaled them back a bit. Didn’t really do any math on it!
These look delicious. I love that they’re full of protein and fiber and wheat-free! Thanks for sharing the recipe
Thanks for sharing this recipe! I made these pancakes myself and adapted it just a little bit. I also did it with Star Wars molds too.
I’m also happy that this recipe involved almond butter and bananas too! Most of the ingredients we already had at home (figures, since our household is an “endurance sport” type of house), which made making this recipe even better with less time shopping! ^_^
Hi, Tina:
I just wanted to say that a few friends and I tried out your pancake recipe this morning, and we really enjoyed it! The poor college students that we are, we only had two bananas, so we substituted in a sweet potato instead. Anyway, thanks for the recipe! We were all surprised at how fluffy they were!

Nice! I’m so glad you liked them. Sweet potato is a great idea!
just made these… so good!! thank you
I made these…Perfect name! I think they are better than traditional buttermilk pancakes and a whole lot healthier… Bravo, Tina!
Yay! So glad you liked them!
This was my first attempt at pancakes after going paleo a few months ago. Very tasty recipe — they came out great!! Thank you!!
I finally picked up almond meal to make these pancakes and I loved them. Great recipe! Super easy and really filling!
Made these this morning for our long weekend breakfast. OMG so good!! and so simple. They sure cook up fast, way faster than traditional pancakes. I *almost* burnt the fist batch, but they were still delicious. Thanks Tina!!
I just made this right now and it is amazing! I stupidly forgot to add in the 3T of almond butter but it still turned out great especially after spreading almond butter on top of the pancakes. My boyfriend loved them too and proclaims he wants more. Thanks for a great recipe!
These sound super good. I have never used almond flour. Is it gluten/carb free?
Jack Johnson’s Banana Pancakes is now running through my head.
Hi Tina!
I just made these pancakes this morning, and while they were really good, mine definitely didn’t look as good as yours! The first ones I put on the pan burned pretty fast, so I tried to flip the next ones faster but it was almost impossible because I don’t think they were ready to be flipped. Any advice!?
It sounds like your heat was up to high. Try medium-low heat.
I made these this morning and added some pumpkin spice into the batter. Then drizzled with local honey and cinnamon! A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!
these look delicious! Thanks for the recipe, Tina!!!
I just found your blog! I can’t wait to try these! I am always looking for a good healthy pancake recipe!
Thanks,
Sarah
These look so simple and delicious, but I don’t have almond meal on hand. I do have oat flour, brown rice flour, and some whiter gluten free flours. Which would you suggest if I try to make these this weekend? Thanks!
I think any of them would work!
Love this recipe. Added some fresh strawberries. Having a little trouble though not burning one side. I guess these guys really need a low heat? Is that what I’m doing wrong….?
Yep, medium-low heat is key!
looks delicious. took your advice and got the Nog SO Delicious.. WOW! So good!
Yay! So glad you liked it!
Great recipe!!! Love these but most importantly my kids love them:)
Who knew pancakes could be so delicious?!
The pancakes turned out perfect, I couldn’t make them fast enough to keep up with the demand. Thank you for posting the recipe!
How many cups of banana did you use? Mine burnt and stuck and I think it was cuz my 3 bananas were alot bigger than yours. Tastes really good but took me an hour to cook it all cuz I had to cook them small and slow. They look sloppy but taste super banana-y
I’m not sure. I used 3 medium/large bananas.
Tried these tonight. The batter was much too runny even after adding an additional 1/2 cup of the flour. My bananas were banana bread quality. Wonder if their ripeness contrbuted to the runny batter.
Oh my goodness these are amazing! Thank you so much! Perfect for paleo diet.
