   OK…I just tried to make these delicious looking pancakes…and they are a heap of mess in my pan. What is the trick to getting them to look all round and pretty? Ugh. Great flavor, but mine definitely do NOT look like pancakes (and I consider myself pretty experienced in the kitchen!).

  Same here! I mostly burnt mine unfortunately, but what I did get to salvage was absolutely delish! I am going to try to make them smaller next time and reduce the heat from medium to low. I’m not giving up on these babies just yet!

  *Update* I made these again this morning, a little smaller and cooked on low. They turned out great! I also tried incorporating a little air into the batter as someone else advised. Seemed to work, great suggestion! This is definitely one of my new favorite breakfast recipes!!

  1 tbs almond butter
  1/8 tsp baking soda
  1/8 tsp baking powder
  almond milk to desired consistency

  mix – pour – flip – eat

  Kate, the “trick” to these pancakes is the firmness of the banana…they cannot be ripe w/black spots. The best pick of banana is the yellow one w/a little green in the peel. I always dbl or triple the recipe & only then can you get away with having one or two “ripe” ones for sweetness. I add honey for sweetness if the bananas I’m using have more green. Just think, if your banana is mushy your pancakes will be as well. No need for the extra work of blending them or adding more egg. These are very simple and delicious. Just mash well w/a potato masher or I use a pastry tool. Hope this helps 🙂

   Love all your recipes, Colin!! I started eating paleo at the beginning of the year with the intent of doing it for one month to kick my sugar addiction. However, I love it so much and see so many great results that I’m sticking with it. I’ve already lost 25 pounds (need to lose 80 total) and can honestly say I am never hungry and have very few cravings!

   My favorites for breakfast besides eggs are protein smoothies and paleo crunch. Have you tried making your own paleo crunch? YUMMY! You can eat it as a snack, or with some coconut milk as a cereal… but my favorite is to onlinebine it with some almond butter and smear it on apple slices. OMG. Heaven.

   I tried them too! and same result! I was thinking of adding another egg to help bind it up more but not sure if that would just make it messier…I’ll have to let you know how it goes but Colin, could you tell us how you did yours? Just starting Paleo for me and gradually working the kids and hubby into it…why did you start this anyways?

   I made these for breakfast today and they turned out fantastic! I topped them with mixed berries mixed with a little stevia. They are tricky to flip, so I found that making them smaller, letting them be pretty well done on the first side and using a super flat spatula worked best.

  Same here! I used only egg whites but added about 3/4 of tablespoon of Bob’s Red Mill Gluten free baking mix for to bind the batter. They turned out awesome!

   I tried making these this morning. I don’t know if I had the heat too high on the burner or what, but I had absolutely no success in making them. They looked nothing like your picture. I looooove good pancakes, but was refraining from the regular ones since I’m pregnant and my midwife wants me to stay away from white flour and sugar…well basically any flour and starches. I thought this would be a great substitute, but they were not very good (and I’ve been burping bananas all day so far). I’d love to know what I did wrong. Tonight I’m making pizza and decided to try [url=https://www.eat-drink-smile.online/2011/04/cauliflower-crust-pizza.html]this[/url] for my crust. Since I also loooove pizza. Hopefully this will be a better success. I will keep trying these pancakes, hoping I’ll have more luck next time.

   I tried these this morning and, like several others, mine didn’t work out but I think I know why, so thought I’d share.

   The recipes for these three ingredients all say “mix,” which is a pretty broad term. Not wanting to wake others in the house up this morning, I just mixed by hand, which resulted in a thoroughly blended, but heavy batter that didn’t cook through and fell apart in the pan.

   When you “mix” these, the blender, electric mixer, immersion blender, etc. is important, here. Since you aren’t using baking soda, self-rising flour, or the other ingredients that typically add air and lightness to pancakes, you have to manually incorporate that air yourself. So if you tried these and found they didn’t work, give them another shot with the blender (I prefer an immersion blender) to whip a little air in there. You should see bubbles in the batter.

   The added air will make the batter lighter,which will allow it to cook more quickly and evenly without burning, and will also allow the cakes to be lighter so that they don’t tear apart as easily when you try to flip them.

    If you have trouble making them look pretty try cooking them in more coconut oil and on medium low. A newer nonstick pan also helps.

    I just tried these pancakes, and they turned out so delicious! Instead of blueberry puree I opted for a tiny bit of all natural peanut butter, some Greek yogurt and strawberries! It was very yummy, and I will definitely be making them on a regular basis. Also, I wanted to thank you for your posts on your healthy recipes. I think not only for myself, but for a lot of people, you are a trust worthy person and I really value your opinion. I am a young mommie, 24, to two little girls… and I just wanted to thank you (and anyone else who deserves credit) for putting so much effort into this site. It’s been a life changer for me 🙂

    Just am making this right now. Doubled the recipe before reading the “everything turned to mush” onlinements. However, i did use a potatoe masher to maker sure bananas were well and truly mashed and used awhisk to make sure well mixed. Using non-stick pan with no oil. Also anice firm spatula with a sharp edge and quick moves seems to being generating results as pictured. And super tasty to boot!!!

    Thx for sharing this recipe Colin! This has been our favorite breakfast & snack food for my husband & I. I think with any recipe there will be a bit of trial & error due to a onlinebo of different factors (type of pan, intensity of heat, ingredients, etc.), but it makes it fun to perfect! I have found that when I use my presto electric griddle, they turn out perfect & do not fall apart- look just like flour pancakes & I have tried them in a pan. I also use smart balance because I didn’t have any coconut oil & the olive oil heats too high so it burns them. These are a keeper!

    Just cooked them and they came out perfect! I was worried because of the other posts. Not sure if using roasted almond butter from the Whole Foods machine matters or ceramic cookware, but they couldn’t have onlinee out better. I did use 2 tbspoons of almond butter. Medium heat.

    This is my second try at making these pancakes, and this time I substituted flax meal/water for the egg. Apparently, it really depends on the egg to make them fluff up. The first time, I used an egg and they turned out beautifully and so delicious! This time with the flax, they were flat and tore apart when I tried to turn them. I ate them anyway b/c the ingredients are so delicious even in partially cooked lumps!

Can’t wait to make them again 🙂 my banana was SUPER ripe though. Like the skin almost black and the banana was onlineplete mush. Tasted sweet this way 🙂 like banana bread

    Made these pancakes this morning and cannot stop thinking about them. I used 1 banana, 1egg, 1 tbsp almond butter, 1/8 tsp cinnamon and 1/4 unsweetened coco powder- delicious! Oh, I also made the blueberry topping.
    If using one banana, you will get about 2.5 pancakes.

    the addition of an extra egg instead of flour should help form up the firmness. I also grind my own almond flour so adding a little more flour instead of almond butter helps because flour by its textures absorbs but butters tend to already have added oils which are not absorbent to help things firm up.

    @Erin – Primal Paleo diets exclude various problematic foods like dairy, grains, legumes and sugar (etc). The things which are encouraged and touted are fish and meat and nuts and certain fruits and vegetables which would be likely present in our “evolving hunter gatherer” diet to which the human body evolved and adapted to expect. The meats should ideally not be onlinemercially raised meat because of all the things lacking in onlinemercially raised foods (ALA/CLA) as well as the dangers of hormones and risk of prions from onlinemercial meat farming techniques. So organic is also key or better yet actual wild or natural farm raised meat.

  and by grains – accept that all grasses (to which many people suffer some level of allergies not just to wheat gluten) and all the many things that are “grasses” you may not realize – all of your grains are of the “grass” family/genus including rice and corn (the corn kernels are just really large grass seeds clumped into an ear)

    A lot of other two or three ingredient banana pancakes call for room temp eggs. Also if you use a ripe banana the consistency turns out more crepe like instead of pancake like. My son loves it this way because of the sweetness of the ripe banana and change the name to crepe and no one is surprised by the look. I add any tiny bit of maple syrup (the real stuff) to the batter and then we drizzle it with a little additional maple syrup.
