Pancrépes :: The Illustrated Recipe

This past weekend my sister-in-law turned me on to these amazing flourless pancakes that consist of just two (!) ingredients: eggs and bananas. Of course, you can add other goodies as you like. My husband and I are in love with this oh-so-simple recipe that allows us to eat pancakes guilt and gluten free — woohoo!

The Simplest Gluten-free Pancrépes Ever
Makes 4 cakes / Serves 2
  • 1 mashed banana
  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon (optional)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 Tbsp. oil for pan (ghee or coconut oil)
  • 1/4+ cup crushed walnuts (optional)
In bowl, mash banana with a fork then stir in two fresh eggs and a few dashes of cinnamon; mix well. Add walnuts if desired. Heat oil in frying pan. Pour a 1/4 cup of mix into pan for each pancake. Brown to your liking, then flip with spatula and brown other side. Serve as is or with a side of berries or smear of jam.

Update 01/14/14: I recently illustrated this recipe and submitted it to a great site for artists who love to "draw and cook" (see topmost pic) — check out all the wonderfully illustrated recipes (and cookbooks!) here. You're free to print my illustrated recipe out for personal use. Also, I created an alternate design for these fun, fresh tea towels. Order your fabric today and sew one up for your bestie!
