GF Vegan Blueberry Banana Pancakes



It was a little lovely ritual for my husband to make me pancakes in the morning on our special anniversaries and birthdays.... since we cut off a lot of gluten from our diets these days, I had to come up with easy gluten-free pancake recipes! After a nice long walk at Radnor Lake, I made these yummy gluten-free blueberry banana pancakes!!! What a great way to start Sunday morning!

GF Vegan Blueberry Banana Pancakes

Yield: makes 6 small pancakes (serves 2)

INGREDIENTS
  • 1 ripe banana
  • 2/3 cup unsweetened almond milk 
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 3/4 cup gluten-free flour (I used 1/4 teff flour, 1/4 brown rice flour, 1/8 coconut flour, 1/8 tapioca flour)
  • 2 tbs flaxseeds
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp himalayan salt
  • 1/3 cup frozen blueberries (into the batter)
  • 1/3 cup frozen blueberries (for topping)
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup (for topping)
  • tiny pinch of himalayan salt (for topping)
  • a few tsp coconut oil (to cook)

DIRECTIONS

1. In a blender, blend the banana with the almond milk and vanilla.
2. Mix together the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl.
3. Add the banana/milk mixture into the dry ingredients, and mix them well.
4. Fold the blueberries into the batter.
5. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and coat with a few coconut oil.
6. For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the hot skillet, and cook 3 or 4  pancakes at a time. When bubbles begin to form after about 1 minute, flip it over and cook for 30-60 seconds. 
7. To make the blueberry topping, add blueberries, maple syrup and salt into a small saucepan to heat up a little. 
8. Serve pancakes with warm blueberry sauce. Enjoy!!!

INGREDIENTS
1.5 cup soaked cashews
2 soaked dates
1/3 cup soaked yellow raisins
1/3 cup carob powder
1/4 raw honey
1 cup shredded coconut
1/8 tsp himalayan sea salt
1/8 tsp vanilla extract
4 drops Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils of Lavender, or Wild Orange 

DIRECTIONS
1. In a food processor, blend together the cashews, dates, & raisins until they form a crumbly paste.
2. Remove the nut mixture from your food processor and place it in a large bowl (no plastic ). Stir in the carob powder, honey, shredded coconut, himalayan sea salt, vanilla extract & essential oils, and mix until smooth.
3. Roll it into balls by rolling the mixture between your palms. 
4. Roll the truffles in your desired topping such as coconut, cocoa powder or nuts. Enjoy!



IMPORTANT: Although there are good essential oils available to consumers, many product claiming to be essential oils often are not pure aromatic extracts and often contain fillers and non-aromatic compounds. Furthermore, there are no current regulatory standards for the descriptive use of the “therapeutic grade” for products labeled as essential oils. You want to get essential oils from the company who owns internal standards for sourcing and testing 100% pure aromatic botanical extracts using independent laboratory analysis in order to meet high standards for both purity and material composition and for accurate product labeling.
