Almond Flour Banana Pancakes

Who doesn’t love pancakes for breakfast? My kids have some variation almost every single day. That’s a lot of pancakes. So I am always looking for healthier ones we can big batch cook. We love the simple egg and banana version but more recently, these Almond Flour Pancakes have been a real favorite.

First off, they are incredibly light and delicious. But they are also carb friendly since they use almond flour. This is something I appreciate in the morning to help with blood sugar balancing. Carbs are not bad, but for me personally, I try to go for a more protein-heavy breakfast to start the day. And speaking of protein, this recipe uses 4 eggs! Plus, almond flour is a more protein-loaded flour.

So there is almond flour and eggs, giving these some good protein. So how is it sweetened? Banana. It’s a natural sugar where a lot of pancakes secretly sneak in a lot more sugar. Once again, a breakfast win! I also add some milk and olive oil to keep it moist. You can use whatever milk you like. A little vanilla extract and baking powder wrap it up.

These are light and delicate. I highly recommend cooking center pan, not overcrowding, and flipping with care. They’re gently little pancakes. This recipe makes a good amount so there will probably be leftovers. I do not, however, recommend freezing these. So plan accordingly.
