Gluten-free/Dairy Free Banana Pancakes

Gluten-Free/Dairy Free Banana Pancakes

1 c whole organic oats (make sure it is a gluten-free source)

1/2 c rice, buckwheat, quinoa or other GF flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 egg

1 frozen or very ripe banana

1-2 cups of soya milk ( I used organic SoNice vanilla)

2 tbsp olive oil

Olive oil (to brush on the pan)

In a food processor, first process the oats so that they become a coarse oat flour. It takes about 2- 3 minutes. Add all other dry ingredients. Mix. With the food processor running, add the egg, oil, and banana then slowly add in the milk until the mixture reaches the consistency of pancake batter. Thicker batter will make thicker pancakes; thinner batter, thinner pancakes. Heat a cast-iron or non-stick frying pan to medium. Brush the pan with olive oil (or other cooking oil) and drop pancakes onto the heated pan. When the pancakes a really bubbling, flip them and cook on the other side. Remove from pan. Serve with sliced banana, lemon, butter and maple or other syrup.

Gluten-Free Buckwheat Pancakes

This is the milk free version of the recipe; however, this recipe can be made with regular milk.

2 cups of buckwheat flour (preferrably organic)
2 eggs (free range if available)
Soya milk (I like the sugar-free "So Nice")
1 tbsp olive oil (or other cooking oil)
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp of xantham gum (optional)
pinch of salt
Blueberries (optional)

Mix all of the ingredients together in a large bowl. Add soya milk to the consistency of thinkness that you want for your pancakes. Adding more liquid will give the pancakes a more crepe-like finish. Using less liquid will give a thicker, fluffier pancake. Pre-heat the pan. I use a cast iron frying pan, however, any frying pan will do. If you are using a non-stick pan, brush the surface lightly with oil. If you are using any other pan, put a good amount of oil, so the pancakes don't stick. Heat the pancakes on one side until it starts to bubble. Flip and cook until there is almost no steam coming from the pancake.

Bon Appetit!
