Meals for Every Part of Your Day!

Banana Pancakes

Today I thought I would try something interesting.  Throughout the day I will be giving recipes for breakfast, lunch and dinner around the times they should be given.  Now I know breakfast is already over, but I was thinking that you could even start this plan tomorrow!

For my first gluten free, and kid friendly breakfast, I was thinking Banana Pancakes!  Just like the Jack Johnson song :) You could truly make these for any part of your day, although I think that pancakes are mostly enjoyed during the AM hours.  This recipe is coming from one of my favorite blogs, Texan Erin Baking and I suggest you look her up if you like this recipe!

For this recipe, if you have any bananas that are starting to turn black or moldy you can use them for these pancakes!  These pancakes are gluten-free, 100% whole grain and dairy free also.  This recipe will make about 8 pancakes!

You will need:
3 small overly ripe bananas
2 tablespoons coconut oil or butter
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 cup gluten-free oat flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

In a large bowl combine the mashed bananas, melted coconut oil or butter, lemon juice, vanilla extract and 2 eggs.  Mix until you they are all combined, then in a smaller bowl combine the rest of the ingredients.  You want to pour the dry ingredients into the wet then stir.  There may be some clumps but don't be worried.  You're going to let that settle for about 10 minutes.  While that is sitting, you can begin heating your non-stick pan over medium heat, you want to spray some Pam or butter on the pan to keep the batter from sticking.  After those 10 minutes are up you can begin making your pancakes!!!  I usually flip them when I see they are about to bubble!

Hope you try this amazing Banana Pancake recipe for you and your children's breakfast soon!
