“These turned out great! I will admit to being a recipe skeptic. I made a half batch, so there was an extra 1/2 egg. I also used less baking powder than was called for, and they still were the best grain free pancakes I’ve made thus far (and I think this is the 4-5th recipe I’ve tried)!” —Ally

Here’s what you’ll need

Paleo baking has never been easier. In addition to bananas (an obvious component of this recipe), you’ll only need four other ingredients!

Bananas: Fiber-full bananas are the star of this pancake recipe! We’ll use large, ripe bananas, which means we don’t need to add extra sugar.
Eggs: These help bind all the ingredients together while also adding protein.
Almond Meal: Almond meal will replace all-purpose flour. It’s a gluten-free and paleo-friendly swap that you can find in any grocery store!
Almond Butter: To add extra flavor and texture to this recipe, I use almond butter! This ingredient also adds a bit of rich, creamy flavor.
Baking Powder: Baking powder is the final ingredient needed to make paleo pancakes.

Making banana pancakes is easy

Paleo pancakes are just as easy to make as any other pancake recipe!

Mix the batter: To start, combine bananas and eggs to form a smooth paste. You can use a fork or an electric mixer. Next, stir in the almond meal, almond butter, and baking powder to form a batter.
Cook the pancakes: Lightly grease a large skillet with coconut oil or something similar and set it over medium heat. Then, pour the batter into the skillet, using a little less than ¼ cup for each pancake. Cook on each side or until bubbles form on the top and the bottom is lightly browned.
Serve and enjoy: Finally, serve these pancakes warm and topped with nut butter and berries or bananas. You can also add a bit of paleo maple syrup or cinnamon.

Delicious paleo pancake toppings

If you’re looking to take your paleo banana pancakes to the next level, here are some delicious add-ons that you may want to try.

Fruit: Bananas, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries are my favorite, but any fruit will taste delicious in these paleo pancakes!
Nuts: Want to add crunch to your pancakes? Consider mashed walnuts or pecans!
Cacao: If you’re craving a pit of paleo-approved chocolate with your ‘cakes, consider cacao nibs!
Nut butter: You can never go wrong with extra nut butter. A dollop on top of warm pancakes, and you’ve got yourself a creamy, rich treat!
