Banana Pancakes!!!!

[KnottedYet]

Marvellous!

I used the recipe in the Celiac thread:
2 bananas (mashed)
1 egg
1 splash of olive oil

Oh, yummy! They fall apart easily, so I've added some gluten-free mix to my banana mash, and am frying one right now to see if the texture becomes more pancakey.

The flavor is fabulous!

If anyone needs pancakes but can't do regular ones (for whatever reason) I highly recommend the mashed banana!

KnottedYet ---- Sounds yummy, will try them tomorrow. Just wondering what I was going to do with my over-ripe bananas, besides a smoothie. You used glutin free mix, is this like flour???

[KnottedYet]

Pretty much. Just use regular flour if you don't like the plain banana texture. I used about 1/2 cup of my gluten free mix for two bananas, so 1/2 cup of flour should do it.

This sounds delicious! I have a whole bunch of black bananas waiting to be converted into something edible...kinda looks like my grandmother's house. What is it with the elderly and their refusal to throw away spoiled fruit? Sometimes I wonder if a new Depression will be needed to teach the new generation:p not waste food...

This sounds yummy! I've got frozen mashed bananas - whenever the bananas get too far past their peak to eat, I mash them and freeze them. Usually make muffins. Pancakes sounds a treat! It'd work with frz. ones, don't you think?

I would think the frozen bananas would be fabulous!

I just made a batch of the banana-and-a-little-somethin' pancakes for Trek and she really liked them. (I used the gluten-free mix again) They end up very moist and lightly sweet and don't have a heavy banana flavor. The cooking must mellow out the banana somewhat.

MMMMMMmmmmMMMM! Great pancakes!

I wish I would have seen this before eating my pancakes. I will give these a try tomorrow. :)

Can you post a link to the Celiac thread so I can take a shot at this whole bannana pancake thing:rolleyes: Ooh I love me some bannanas and pancakes.:p

I made banana-nut-chocolate chip pancakes this morning...but I used regular flour :) they were tasty, I wonder how the gluten-free ones come out! Oh, and as for chocolate chips...it gets a bit too sweet for me.:rolleyes:

And I was just going to post a question asking what the perfect breakfast for a double century would be!

Sounds like you all have found it!

Whenever I've added bananas to pancakes, I just slice them, rather than mashing. Think that might help with the "falling apart" problem. Also, I think the chunks tend to carmelize just a little. VERY yummy. :p

Here's the celiac link. The banana pancake recipe is near the end. I've posted my version at the very beginning of this thread.

The original is just bananas and egg. No flour or any other binder. Essentially just fried banana! They are very good that way, but I found I liked them more with just a little "quasi-flour" as the banana all alone was a little too floppy.

Mmmm, now I'm craving more! The nice thing about making the batter almost entirely of mashed banana is that it stretches my gluten-free mix supply. (that stuff is expensive!) This is the company with my favorite pancake and baking mix: http://www.pamelasproducts.com/
