Ingredients
- 3/4 cup gluten-free oat flour
- 3/4 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1 medium ripe banana
- 1 1/2 Tbsp melted coconut oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 1/2 Tbsp maple syrup
- 1 1/4 cup non-dairy milk (I prefer unsweetened almond milk)
- 1/4 cup vegan dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- 1.
To a large bowl, add oat flour, gluten-free flour, almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to combine and set aside. - 2.
To a separate mixing bowl, add banana and mash. Then add melted coconut oil, vanilla extract (optional), and maple syrup and whisk to combine. Then add non-dairy milk and whisk to combine. If the coconut oil hardens or clumps, it's not a big deal. You can microwave (for 45 seconds - 1 minute) to remelt - otherwise proceed. - 3.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry inredients and gently fold everything together. Then add the chocolate chips (see photo) and gently fold/mix until the batter is well combined. It should be thick but pourable/scoopable. If too thin, add more gluten-free or almond flour. If too thick, thin with a little non-dairy milk. - 4.
Heat a large nonstick skillet, griddle, or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Carefully rub skillet with coconut oil. - 5.
Once hot, spoon 1.4 - 1/3 cup of the batter onto skillet. Cook until surface of pancakes have some bubbles and the edges appear dry (~2 minutes). Carefully flip pancakes and cook until browned on the underside (~2 minutes more). - 6.
Transfer cooked pancakes to a baking sheet or plate and keep warm in a 200-degree F (94 C) oven. Continue cooking until all batter is used up- about 12 pancakes (as orginial recipe is written). - 7.
These pancakes are delicious on their own, but they're amplified with toppings! Store colled leftover pancakes in a container separted with wax or parchment paper to prevent sticking. Will keep in the refrigerator up to 4 days or in the freezer up to 1 month. Reheat in the toaster oven or oven until hot.
