Banana bread almond flour pancakes taste just like banana bread, but are refined sugar-free, gluten-free, protein-packed and healthy!
Have you ever have a silent and delicious crush on someone?
You see him or her from across the room in class and pray your eyes don’t meet because once your bright-eyed smitten gaze is discovered, you won’t be able to stare like an insect headed toward a bug zapper anymore?
You don’t dare say a word to your crush for fear you will want to say every single thing ever and it will come out like a jigsaw puzzle.
Perhaps you try to set your crush up with your best friend, because there’s NO WAY someone that dope (heck yeah, I come from a hippy town!) will give you the time of day but due to your selfless nature, you want nothing but happiness for your deliciously silent crunchy crush?
Even though you’ve never exchanged words, you have the confidence of a bull in a china shop that your best friend and your crush will go prancing off into the sunset and they will certainly name their first born after you!
That’s the way I feel about these pancakes.
Silent stupor.
What sane person compares infatuation to a stack of pancakes?
Don’t answer that…
It may be entirely possible that I’m the only one in this room who has ever had a deliciously silent crush, but this works out to your benefit, because here I am, giving you my stack of happy and by golly, you’ve got some prancing to do!
Here’s where we talk about health and…moistness.
YEAH! These almond flour pancakes are full of protein and are naturally sweetened, making them a very healthful breakfast. almond meal and brown rice flour
make for a fluffy pancake that you would never know is gluten-free, and the bananas keep the recipe moist (in spite of the fact that everyone seems to dislike the word, “moist”, I have to admit I kind of like it.
Moist, moist, moist. That was fun.) and sweet!
From my infatuated heart to yours. From my silent admiration to your warm embrace. From my…okay, let’s cut the crap and make some pancakes!

Can you substitute something else for the rice flour? Doesn't have to be gf.. can I use regular flour, coconut flour or all almond flour?

I was going to ask the same thing about subbing out the rice flour but because a family member cannot have any grains. I so want to try these but would defeat the purpose with rice flour.

These are so good. Eating my little stack as I type! My almond flour is quite mealy (coarser texture I think) so that changes the texture a bit but they are SO reminiscent of banana bread and I LOVE having a higher fat/protein option for breakfast that is warm, delightful, and dairy free. I made the almond flour pancakes yesterday...think I'm going to continue on this theme :) .
