Hey there! Just poppin’ in for a quick recipe.
I’ve made simple pancakes with just banana and an egg before. They’re good and functional… but sometimes they lack the flavor I seek. These babes are almost as easy. They only require 4 key ingredients, plus a few spices.
As is the sad case, I spotted a few browning bananas the other morning, which is how these babes were born. I’ve already eaten 73621 cookies so I wanted something else. I already had a quiche bakin’ for brunch so I figured why not add some pancakes? And take advantage of the griddle.
The coconut flour is high in protein and fiber and makes the pancakes rather fluffy and light. The cocoa powder adds a nice chocolatey flavor as well as some antioxidants, like selenium, and even modest amounts of iron, copper and magnesium.
Plus, just one tablespoon of cocoa powder offers 2 grams of fiber! Boo yea.
These gluten free pancakes are high in protein, fiber, and flavor and are a great option for a quick breakfast!

I’ll be back tomorrow with some WIAW eats. Have a great day!
These would be so good before a long run!
Definitely. And after too 🙂
LOVE the chocolate pb combo! And I love that you put a few big dollops of peanut butter on top of this delicious chocolate-y goodness.
Adding extra PB is the only way I eat pancakes 🙂
Yum! Thanks for sharing! Do you think I could sub pumpkin or avocado for the banana? im not a banana fan!
Hi Heather. I think you could definitely sub pumpkin or applesauce for the banana and be fine! I’ve read that avocado would work too, but I just haven’t tried that so I can’t speak to it directly. But please let me know if you try?!
I will report back my results haha!
These pancakes are hubby approved delicious!!
I couldn’t tell from how many you ate.. 😉
I love the banana + egg pancake and have it a lot, but these look so much more luscious and appropriate for a weekend breakfast 😀
Definitely a more indulgent form for the weekend. Or, I’ve made a few batches to keep during the week and just microwave them up!
You had me at gluten free and chocolate 🙂 The nut butter topping looks so good!
I hope you will be joining us for the new Fitness Friday soon to be Life of Fitness Health and Happiness and share your posts [recipes]!
Happy holidays Sarah!
Nut butter is just the icing on the cake! Happy holidays to you as well!
I loveeeeee this recipe!!! These would be perfect for on-the-go breakfasts when I just want to snatch something and go. A peanut butter packet, these pancakes, and a naner and Im set to go! 😉
Totally! Perfect for on the go 🙂
Perfect. These are perfect. Everything I’ve been wanting. I’ve been getting pretty bored of my breakfasts. Top of the list they go.
