Tune in and cook your pancakes with me!
Just waking up from a delicious sleep? I am. And the first thing that popped into my mind was pancakes! Fluffy, delicious, nutritious, SUGAR-FREE, pancakes...
Nutritious?!?
Sugar-Free???
Yes, nutritious. In fact, even though I am maintaining a grain-free diet these days it's still possible to eat fluffy, yummy pancakes - it just requires a little creativity.
Yes, sugar-free. If you want to sweeten these fluffy cakes a little more you can add a few large scoops of baked pumpkin, squash or sweet potato to the batter and blend in the food processor (see instructions below). Add 2 tsp of pumpkin pie spice and you've got Fall on your plate!

ReplyDeleteWhat else can be used besides banana powder?
ReplyDeleteSounds so yummy!
ReplyDeleteI just substituted flax meal for banana powder, used coconut milk instead of almond milk, chocolate protein powder, and added 3 Tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut.
ReplyDeleteThey were so delicious!!!
How many pancakes is a single serving, if this recipe serves 12?
ReplyDeleteContrary to the pic above..my batter only made 12 pancakes (using the 1/4 measuring cup recommended in the recipe)...with that said, a serving would be one pancake.
DeleteHow many calories and grams of carbs per pancake?
ReplyDeleteUm, 2-4 large scoops of pumpkin is pretty vague....how much is that exactly? Half a cup? The size that comes with protein powder? I don't use recipes to the letter, but it is nice to have a better idea than this of what the creator had in mind!
ReplyDeleteLaurel, she is referring to the scoop that comes w/ your protein powder. My scoop actually measures 5 level tablespoons. The pumpkin will depend on your personal preference. I used 2 tablespoons and it was plenty for me. If you like heavy pumpkin flavor, then use more. Hope that helps.
DeleteI used what I had on hand & substituted almond flour & banana powder for 2 cups of brown rice flour, and 2 tbps. pumpkin puree. It was plenty sweet. Very filling & Delicious!
ReplyDeleteAlso used canned coconut milk, that had been refrigerated, so it had thickened, but it worked great!
ReplyDeletewhere can we find the banana powder
ReplyDeletethe recipe doesn't call for milk, but she says to add more milk if needed. How much milk should we add to the recipe?
