Cinnamon banana paleo pancakes FAQ:
Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes on one side, or until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Then, carefully flip them and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side until they are golden brown.
A regular non-stick skillet or griddle works best for cooking these pancakes. Aim for a size that can accommodate 2-3 pancakes at once, ideally around 8-10 inches in diameter.
Store any leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. You can also freeze them for longer storage; place parchment paper between pancakes to prevent sticking, then seal in a freezer-safe bag.
For the banana, you can try using applesauce as a substitute, but the flavor will change slightly. If you want a different flavor, you might experiment with adding a pinch of vanilla extract instead of cinnamon.
Pancakes are done when they are golden brown on both sides and no longer wet in the center. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick; if it comes out clean, they are ready to serve.
Cooking Tips:
- Use a ripe banana for extra sweetness and easier mashing.
- For a fluffier texture, blend the banana and egg together in a blender.
- Heat your pan over medium-low heat to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
- Make small pancakes for easier flipping.
- Grease the pan with a bit of coconut oil for additional flavor and to prevent sticking.
- Serve the pancakes warm with fresh fruit, nuts, or a drizzle of pure maple syrup for added yumminess.
