Gluten-Free Bananas Foster Banana Pancakes - an easy recipe for banana pancakes made with rice flour and almond flour.

When was the last time you ate something that caused your basic communication function to shut down, bring you fully present, and leave you with a loss for words?

And what was it? Spare no details, please.

Because I have multiple food intolerances, I’ve trained my mind fibers to view food as one of those life necessities and no longer feel the need to have an otherworldly spiritual experience with every meal (although I certainly welcome said experiences); however, every once in awhile, I eat something that causes an operating system meltdown, and this was not one of those situations.

Kidding.

It was x 1,409.

Words: gone. Mind: blown. Belly: satiated. Soul: full.

There’s truly nothing like a stack of pancakes, and while I fully get that nothing will ever beat a plate-sized ultra spongy diner pancake with gobs of butter and table syrup, I feel strongly about the fine art of the perfectly engineered gluten-free pancake and its ability to rival even the finest of traditional pancake recipes.

And this.

While the base is made with rice flour and almond flour, you’d never guess these pancakes were gluten-free.

Through all of my gluten-free experimentation over the years, I’ve found the rice flour and almond flour combo yields a pretty epic texture that closely mimics wheat flour.

I make the pancake batter with ripe bananas infused right in for ultra comforting banana bread flavor.

Perhaps one of the best features of this recipe is it’s made in the blender for a no-fuss approach to your weekend breakfast.

The inspiration for these pancakes came from the Banana Bread Almond Flour Pancakes recipe I posted a number of years ago.

I re-created it with a few minor tweaks, and decided it needed some boozy caramelized bananas to go on top.

Let’s talk about those boozy caramelized bananas. Holy stromboli, you haven’t lived until you’ve caramelized a banana with a splash of booze.

It yields that sweet, creamy melt-in-your-mouth experience with that softened booze kick, which just sends your taste buds into overdrive and gives you that ever so subtle chest buzz.

Sprinkle on a little sea salt, and forgetaboutit. Mic drop.

Get love drunk off deez boozy beauts..

Gluten-Free Bananas Foster Banana Pancakes

Delicious moist and fluffy gluten-free pancakes with caramelized bananas makes for a winning breakfast to share with your loved ones!
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
9 small pancakes

Ingredients

Banana Pancakes:

Bananas Foster Topping:

  • 2 large ripe bananas, peeled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted grass-fed butter
  • 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
  • 1.5 tablespoons spiced rum, or whisky
  • 1 pinch sea salt and ground cinnamon

Instructions

Prepare the Pancakes:

  • Add all ingredients for the pancakes to a blender and blend until smooth. Allow batter to sit 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Heat a large skillet with enough coconut oil or avocado oil to coat the bottom (about 2 to 3 teaspoons) over medium heat.
  • Once the skillet is fully hot, measure out 1/4 cup of pancake batter and pour onto the hot skillet. Cook until the sides of the pancake begin to firm up, about 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully flip and cook an additional 1 to 2 minutes, until pancakes are cooked-through. Repeat for remaining pancake batter.

Bananas Foster Topping:

  • Heat the butter in a small non-stick skillet over medium heat. Slice the bananas in ¾-inch rounds, and place them on the hot skillet. Cook 1 to 2 minutes, until bananas have begun to soften. Add the spiced rum, pure maple syrup, sea salt, and ground cinnamon. Flip the bananas carefully (they will be delicate!), and cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes, or until bananas are very soft and caramelized. 
  • Serve banana pancakes with chopped pecans and bananas foster topping.

Banana foster is SO good. These pancakes sound heavenly! I blogged a recipe for bananas foster waffles a few years back - great minds think alike ;-)

Do you think these would work with a flax egg instead?

I just made them with a flax egg and they sadly did not work. No matter how long I cooked them the middle was still raw (but I wanted them so badly I sliced them open so I could then cook the insides separately!). Disclaimer: I Subbed oat flour for rice flour because that’s all I had, so that may have made a difference too). The bananas turned out fabulous though!

Hi Stephanie,

To be honest, I haven't had much experience using flax eggs in pancakes, but the few times I've made them (in different recipes), they've turned out great. I'm assuming it will work for this recipe. I'll update you if I end up making the pancakes with a flax egg!

I need those boozy bananas in my life so bad right now! You are the pancake queen and that topping just makes the whole meal look other worldly. Definitely worth getting lost in the moment for!
