Pancakes? Why not. page

[smilingjustalittlebit]

2 ripe bananas
3 eggs

Blend till mixed.

Add 4 tablespoons unsweetened dessicated coconut, blend again till thick and batter like.

Coconut oil in pan, low heat, off you go. Makes about 4 decent sized ones.

Ruddy delicious.

Simple idea. I'll try this one (without the coconut, which I'm not a big fan of).

I do similar with 1 egg per 1 oz of cream cheese (mascarpone) which makes two 6" crepes or maybe three drop scones (which is what folks that side of the Atlantic seem to call pancakes).

I made some pancakes with buckwheat the other day. Tasted just like those made out of wheat flour.

I made these with almond butter instead of banana

I made these the other day: Buckwheat Banana Pancakes (Gluten-free, Sugar-free)

Sort of a combo buckwheat/banana. They turned out really well (if I do say so myself...).

100% buckwheat flour, or buckwheat pancake mix, which is mostly wheat flour? I make pancakes with pure buckwheat flour and I can tell you they do not taste like wheat flour ones at all.

The pancake recipe from the Food Lovers' blog is pretty awesome. I skipped the stevia and they were still delicious. I haven't made the topping they suggest--just used butter and a little bit of organic amber maple syrup.

My kids hated the banana ones. I thought they were decent. We've tried a few different recipes and my fave is this:
1 cup almond flour
3 eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla
1-2 tsp cinnamon (I never really measure this part)

Blend it up, cook it on the griddle. The kids love it with cinnamon honey butter (coconut oil, butter, about a tbsp raw honey and cinnamon melted together and shaken well). We don't have them that often, but when we do, we down a triple batch between the 6 of us.

Agreed. The taste of buckwheat is strikingly different than wheat flour. I made rice and tapioca flour brownies and added a lousy 1/2 cup of buckwheat flour to the whole 3 cup mix to add some "body" to it. Wow, that's the last time I did that. Totally off-putting.

Why not use rice, tapioca, potato or coconut flour? They'd all be a much better choice than cooking with almond flour. It's incredibly calorically dense, and the primary fat you're giving your kids is oxidized omega 6 outside of the MUFA content. Heating nuts is a no-no. Grinding them up, then frying them or baking them at high temperatures? That's a double no. I think I'd rather stick with all purpose flour than that...
