Let’s get flipping!

1. Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mash up the ripe bananas until smooth. Add almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and egg. Whisk until well combined and creamy.
2. Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Ensure there are no lumps and the mixture is well combined.
3. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Slowly pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently to form a smooth batter. Aim for a lump-free consistency to achieve perfectly fluffy pancakes.
4. Add Chopped Walnuts: Once the batter is smooth, fold in the chopped walnuts. The walnuts will add a delightful crunch and extra flavor to your pancakes. You can omit based on your preferences though!
5. Preheat the Griddle or Pan: Heat a griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Add a dollop of coconut oil or butter to grease the surface, ensuring your pancakes don’t stick.
6. Cook the Pancakes: Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until bubbles start to form on the surface.
7. Flip the Pancakes: Carefully flip each pancake using a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side, until both sides are golden brown and cooked through.
8. Repeat: Repeat the cooking process until you’ve used up all the batter, stacking your pancakes high on a plate as you go.
9. Serve and Enjoy: Once all your pancakes are cooked and stacked, get creative with your toppings. Drizzle on more maple syrup, sprinkle extra chopped walnuts, or add a dollop of Greek yogurt. Then, dig in and enjoy every fluffy, delicious bite!
