Instructions

  • Blend 50 ml yogurt, egg whites, 1 banana, oatmeal, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt into a smooth batter. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then fold in the blueberries.
  • Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Grease the pan with a bit of coconut oil and pour in the batter (about 50 ml per pancake) – you can cook 2-3 at a time.
  • Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles appear on their surface. Flip them over and cook for another 1-2 minutes until they are golden brown. Clean the pan with kitchen paper and use fresh oil each time.
  • Cut the second banana into thin slices. Serve the pancakes in stacks with banana slices in between and top with Greek yogurt or whipping cream. If you have extra blueberries, sprinkle them on top along with coconut flakes and a drizzle of honey.
Enjoy!
Tips

Banana pancakes are not only a delicious breakfast option but also highly convenient, as they freeze exceptionally well. By scaling up the recipe, you can make a larger batch of pancakes to store in the freezer, so you always have a tasty breakfast treat at your fingertips. Also, preparing in advance saves time on busy mornings.

Tips

When cooking the banana pancakes, use a non-stick frying pan or griddle to prevent the batter from sticking to the surface. Remember to grease the surface with a small amount of coconut oil between batches. This will help ensure that the banana pancakes get an even golden-brown hue.

Tips

Keep a close eye on the banana pancakes while they cook. When you notice bubbles are forming on the surface and the edges are beginning to set, it is time to flip them over. Gently turn the lactose-free banana pancakes and allow them to cook until they get a beautiful golden-brown colour.

Take it to the next level with a soft and creamy topping

Although these lactose-free banana pancakes are already scrumptious on their own, you can elevate them by adding a soft and creamy topping. Whether you prefer lactose-free Greek yogurt or lactose-free whipping cream, incorporating a dollop of either of them will enhance the overall flavour of the pancakes. These creamy toppings both bring a luscious and velvety texture and complement the sweetness of the pancakes, creating a harmonious and indulgent meal.

Serve fruits or berries as a refreshing garnish

What makes these lactose-free banana pancakes even better is the harmonious interplay of flavours from the fresh blueberries, banana slices, coconut flakes, and honey. The banana slices and blueberries infuse the dish with a burst of refreshing sweetness while also providing a striking visual contrast. Adding coconut flakes introduces a subtle nuttiness and a hint of tropical flavour, while the honey drizzle gives a rich, velvety sweetness complementing the fruit. This enticing and mouth-watering garnish amplifies the flavours and adds an elegant touch to your morning feast. It is sunshine on a plate, only more delicious and satisfying.

Add your own twist

One of the best aspects of lactose-free banana pancakes is their versatility allowing you to get creative and add your personal twist. You can experiment with different ingredients in the batter or topping to discover new and exciting taste combinations. For instance, try adding a pinch of cinnamon to the batter for a hint of warm, aromatic spice that pairs beautifully with the banana and oatmeal. Alternatively, you can mix in chocolate chips or chopped chocolate for a decadent and indulgent serving. Another option is to sprinkle freeze-dried raspberries, fresh pomegranate kernels, or other fruits on top of your pancake stack. This adds a burst of tangy flavour as well as a delightful contrasting texture. Have fun getting creative.
