A classic flavor combo and allergy-friendly! These healthy peanut butter banana pancakes will easily become a staple in your house. Made with eight simple ingredients, these healthy peanut butter pancakes make the perfect indulgent breakfast recipe (as do these low-carb chocolate pancakes!) We have a pancake obsession in this house. Really and truly. I think we try new pancake recipes every other week at least and we have pancakes for breakfast twice a week! This means I’ve come up with some pretty healthy pancake recipes (these green smoothie pancakes being one of our favorites!). and what better combination to indulge in than peanut butter banana pancakes?! With the ultimate perk being that they’re gluten-free! For both of my pregnancies, all I wanted to eat in the first trimester was peanut butter and banana. By itself, on toast, in wraps in smoothies (which is where this chocolate peanut butter bombs shake came from!). It truly didn’t matter what form it came in, that combo was just a necessity. So basically, I wish I had thought up these peanut butter banana pancakes when I was pregnant with my second! But that’s okay.. they’re here now 😀 Don’t want to read? JUMP to the recipe! These peanut butter pancakes are not only deliciously addictive but they’re also gluten-free! I used almond meal as the base for these beauties which naturally eliminates gluten as the base as well as a lot of processed carbs. Almond meal is one of my most used ingredients partially because it’s easy and I’ve become accustomed to cooking with it but also because it’s a healthy alternative to regular flour. Almond are: Upping your almonds has so many nutritional benefits! While I’m not a crazy advocate for the keto diet, I do find that my body responds really well to keeping a fairly high (healthy) fat intake. Since healthy fats like almonds, chia, flax, and avocados are amazing for young kids (check out a few foods I think should be in all kids diets here) we tend to eat quite a bit of them. If ever there was a mom hack it would be having make-ahead breakfasts on hand (here’s our favorite make-ahead breakfast options). It makes busy mornings far easier! And I definitely use these peanut butter pancakes as a breakfast staple. If you make a big batch, freeze them between piece of parchment paper (so they don’t stick together) and then pop them in the microwave or the oven on low in the morning. A lot of gluten-free pancakes tend to fall apart when you’re eating them. And this happens to me more often than not when I slack at measuring ingredients (oops). These peanut butter pancakes hold up really well though. They’re not as chewy or similar to boxed pancakes as these raspberry buckwheat pancakes but they do hold together nicely especially while flipping. However, they are light and a bit delicate. You’ll notice in the photos that the pancakes are pretty circular. And in the video, I use a mold. I am obsessed with these circular egg and pancake molds. Not only do they make the pancakes look better and more uniform but it helps to portion out the batter so everything cooks evenly too! They’re definitely one of my favorite kitchen tools. Not necessary but still freaking awesome. All of these health-boosting ingredients can be found on my pantry page with a list of my favorite brands! In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, cinnamon, and baking powder. In the bowl with the mashed banana, whisk in the egg, vanilla, and one part of the peanut butter. Mix wet into dry until mostly combined. Add the almond milk and combine fully. Spray a medium pan with nonstick spray and heat over medium. Portion out the batter into four pancakes. Cook for 6 minutes or until edges are slightly brown and pancake is mostly firm. Flip and cook another 2-3 minutes. Top with maple syrup and remaining peanut butter. Makes two servings. These banana pancakes are both gluten and dairy free. They contain real food ingredients and are nothing short of addictive. Kids love them and they make a great healthy breakfast option!
