Pancakes that come together in a blender with simple, whole food ingredients<\/strong> and no flour?! It\u2019s true, friends. Meet your new favorite EASY, nutrient-packed breakfast: plantain pancakes!\u00a0<\/p>\n

Just 7 ingredients<\/strong> and 15 minutes<\/strong> required for these wholesome, freezer-friendly dreams. Bonus? They\u2019re gluten-free and dairy-free, too. Let\u2019s make pancakes!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Origin of Plantain Pancakes<\/h2>\n

Plantains are a major food staple<\/a> in many tropical regions of the world, including the Caribbean, Latin America, and West and Central Africa. They\u2019re enjoyed fried, boiled, roasted<\/a>, as chips<\/a>, for dessert<\/a>, and more. <\/p>\n

But making them into PANCAKES? Our search for where the concept first<\/em> originated fell short, but we do know we\u2019re NOT the first to think it\u2019s a great idea! In Ghana, yellow (ripe) plantains are made into savory pancakes called kaklo<\/em> or tatale<\/em>. Learn more about that version and find a recipe over on Afia Amoako\u2019s blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Our inspired take on the concept heads in a sweeter (vs. more savory) direction!<\/p>\n

How to Make Plantain Pancakes<\/h2>\n

These plantain pancakes rely on GREEN plantains<\/strong> as the starchy ingredient that makes them 100% grain-free<\/strong> without any added flours<\/strong>. Green plantains are also rich in a special type of fiber called resistant starch that helps keep your gut bacteria happy!<\/p>\n

\"Peeling<\/figure>\n

After peeling the plantains, we blend them up<\/strong> with the other ingredients, the main one being eggs. The eggs act as a natural leavening, providing fluffiness and preventing the pancakes from being dense. <\/p>\n

These two whole food ingredients<\/strong> (eggs + plantain) ensure these pancakes are FULL of vitamins and minerals<\/strong>, including magnesium, potassium, choline, B vitamins, and more!<\/p>\n

\"Blender<\/figure>\n

Then just a few more ingredients, and we\u2019re ready to cook! Maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt add sweetness and flavor and give these pancakes a subtle French toast flavor (which we love!). <\/p>\n

\"Blended<\/figure>\n

Optional baking powder adds a little more fluffiness but mostly just creates more bubbles in the pancake, helping you know when it\u2019s ready to flip. We usually leave it out!<\/p>\n

\"Two<\/figure>\n

Then all that\u2019s left is cooking in an oiled skillet until fluffy and golden brown and serving with your favorite pancake toppings! <\/p>\n

\"Drizzling<\/figure>\n

We love them with berry compote<\/a> or sliced bananas, Nutella<\/a> or nut butter<\/a>, and an extra drizzle of maple syrup when we\u2019re feeling decadent!<\/p>\n

\"Slice<\/figure>\n

We hope you LOVE these plantain pancakes! They\u2019re:<\/p>\n

Wholesome
