Gluten-free Banana Blender Pancakes
All-day guilt-free pancakes are no longer a dream
Text: Shannon T
Kids and adults alike, there’s nothing better than a healthy, gluten-free pancake recipe to start the day off on the right foot. Riyana Rupani — a Certified Holistic Nutritionist (NTP), Whole30 coach, recipe developer and creator of Healthy-ish & Happy — shares her easy pancake recipe that is fuss-free, gluten-free, rich in nutritional value and still tastes like happiness in every bite. Prepped and cooked in just 20 minutes, you can enjoy freshly-made, guilt-free pancakes on busy mornings.
To increase the nutritional value of these babies, there are tons of add-in options. Riyana’s favourites are collagen, flax meal and spinach (green pancakes💚). The bananas give the pancakes natural sweetness but you may add date paste or maple syrup to the mix if you have a sweeter tooth. Riyana highly recommends soaking the oats overnight with a little acid (either lemon juice or apple cider vinegar works fine) to help break down the phytic acid and make them easier to digest. If you’re avoiding gluten, get those that are labelled clearly as gluten-free on the packaging as there may be a risk of cross-contamination if they are packaged in the same place as gluten-containing items.
